|discussion=<p><i>Cyperus flavicomus</i> has long been called C. albomarginatus (see G. C. Tucker 1994). The closely related (perhaps not distinct) C. macrostachyos Lamarck, a pantropical subspecies, has been reported from Central America; the relationship of the two species needs further study.</p><!--
--><p><i>Cyperus flavicomus</i> has been introduced in New York; it has not persisted there (R. S. Mitchell and G. C. Tucker 1997).</p>
