Four new species of Kyllinga from tropical Africa are described; K. robinsoniana from Zambia; K. pseudobulbosa from Tanzania; K. tisserantoides from Nigeria and K. uniflora from Tanzania. From the available records it seems that K. tisserantioides is West African in distribution while K. pseudobulbosa and K. robinsoniana have wider area of distribution within Africa. K. uniflora seems to be limited to the East African Miombo vegetation.
