Taxonomy
editCyperus setigerus was jointly named and described by the American botanist John Torrey and the English botanist William Jackson Hooker.[2] In an influential monograph published in 1836, Torrey acknowledged the many contributions of Hooker, which included "a set of Mr. Drummond's plants collected in Louisiana and Texas".[3]. The acknowledgment refers to the Scottish naturalist Thomas Drummond who collected the type specimen.[4] As of February 2026[update], the botanical name Cyperus setigerus Torr. & Hook. is widely accepted.[5][6]
The classical spelling of the specific epithet setigerus in the nominative masculine is setiger.[7] However, Articles 23 and 60 of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants do not allow for subsequent emendation in this case since none of the stated exceptions are met.[8]
