* Heleocharis acicularis : This is an old alternative spelling for Eleocharis acicularis. In older books one will find occasionally other species of this genus spelt with the H. It is inspired from the original Greek "helodes" meaning "growing in marsh" but for some reason modern taxonomists favour Eleocharis and therefore the version with H is probably taxonomically invalid.
