Abstract
We report S. caricina (R. Br) Benth. (Cyperaceae) as an unrecorded species from Sinan-gun, Jeollanam Province on the Korean peninsula. This taxon was known to be distributed mainly in southeast Asia, China, Japan, and the northern part of Australia. S. caricina is distinguished from other species of the genus Scleria in Korea by having congested inflorescences, 3-toothed pistillate scales at the apex, and enclosed achenes in 2 scales. The new Korean common name, 'Ae-gi-gae-ol-mi', is given considering the small-size of the plants. A description based on the morphological characters and the illustrations of this species are provided with a taxonomic key to the species of Scleria in Korea.
