editorial
Schoenus concinnus has been treated as a variety of S. nitens (R.Br.) Hook.f. (Moore & Edgar 1970). Both species are superficially similar. Schoenus nitens differs by its broader culms, less densely tufted growth habit, taller stature, inflorescences of 2-many spikelets, obtuse rather than subacute bright chestnut-brown rather than dark brown to almost black glumes, and grey-brown to red-brown rather than yellow-brown, smaller nut (1.5 mm cf. 1.5-2.0 mm long) and some botaists in New Zealand recognise the species Schoenus concinnus (see de Lange PJ 2007).
