{{Inc|
Hypolytrum (from the Greek for beneath and a sheath; in reference to the 2 or 3 scales found under the true scale). Cyperaceae. Perennial herbs with leafy sts., often very strong and coarse: spikelets numerous and small in compound panicles that have long leafy involucral bracts; glumes imbricate around the rachis; stamens 3or less: fr. a hard 3-angled nutlet.—Species 25 or 30, in tropical and subtropical regions of both hemispheres. Only one species seems to be in the trade. H. schraderianum, Nees, is listed abroad, apparently as a greenhouse plant, the lvs. crowded in bold triangular tufts, green with purplish red margins, traversed on the upper surface by -2 ribs running equidistant from base to apex," giving it a striking and ornamental effect: panicle much decompound; spike- lets obovate-elliptic: lvs. linear-lanceolate, 3 -nerved, the margin and midnerve more or less serrulate-scabrous toward the apex, 2 ft. long and 1 ½ in. or less wide: culms 5-6 ft. In woods and swamps, Brazil. L. H. B.
