Summary González‐Elizondo, M. S. & Peterson, P. M.: A classification of and key to the supraspecific taxa in Eleocharis (Cyperaceae) . – Taxon 46: 433–449. 1997. – ISSN 0040‐0262. A comparison of former supraspecific classifications is made and a new, revised system is proposed for Eleocharis (Cyperaceae) . Four subgenera, seven sections, eight series, and seven subseries are recognized. A key to subgenera and sections is included along with type citations, synonymies, and representative species. Two new series, E. ser. Albidae and ser. Rostellatae , are described, along with one new combination, E. sect. Baeothryon , and two transfers in rank, E. subser. Acutae and E. subser. Sulcatae.
