Comment/Acknowledgements: “Circa urbem Kashmir”, 5200’, Jacquemont 645 (K). The taxonomic treatment of C. mariscus is not stabilized. As interpreted here C. mariscus s.s. includes Cladium martii (Roem. & Schult.) K. Richt., described from Spain, Catalonia (as Isolepis martii), to accommodate plants with large, diffuse inflorescences (cf. Egorova in Novit. Syst. Pl. Vascul. 28, 1991; Kukkonen in Rech.f., l.c. 156. 1998). Cladium mariscus subsp. mariscus appears to be restricted to Europe, N. Africa and SW Asia, including Caucasus. It is not found in Siberia East of Ural, neither does it occur in regions north of Caspian Sea. The species is missing in lowlands of India; C.B.Clarke (in Fl. Br. India 1894) names it only from Kashmir. Koyama (in Hara & al., Enum. pl. Nepal 1: 96-120, 1978) assigns Chinese material and the single specimen from Nepal into C. jamaicense subsp. chinense (Nees) T. Koyama.
