Species: Schoenoplectus maritimus

Plantae - Anthophyta - Monocotyledoneae - Cyperales - Cyperaceae - Schoenoplectus - Scirpus maritimus is treated as Schoenoplectus maritimus by Kartesz (1999). Includes Scirpus paludosus, but excludes Scirpus robustus and S. tuberosus (as treated by Kartesz, 1994 checklist and 1999 Synthesis). A Clayton specimen from Virginia, identifiable as Scirpus robustus rather than a narrowly treated S. maritimus, had been considered to be the type of Scirpus maritimus, but a different Linnaean specimen from Sweden, collected by O. Celsius [not Anders Celsius!] and representing Scirpus maritimus as more narrowly treated, has been designated as lectotype (Smith and Kukkonen, Taxon 48: 355-357, 1999).
