Abstract
Southern African plants previously known as Schoenoplectus lacustris ( L.) Palla or Scirpus lacustris L. are recircumscribed morphologically, and distributional and habitat details are given. They are transferre d to Sch. tabernaemontani (C.C. Gmel.) Palla, which includes Sch. vali dus (Vahl) A. Love & D. Love, and with which they fit more precisely. The broad conception of Scirpus lacustris L. as a complex species inco rporating S. tabernaemontani C.C. Gmel. is more effectively treated as several individual species, in many cases linked in certain parts of their ranges by natural hybrids.
