Dear H S

I think this should satisfy you

http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-237531

Kew Plant List is published very recently in 2010 and whole World will follow it as standard database for resolved taxa. I find no reason why we should not follow it.

Dear Mr. H.S.
Again I agree here with Dr. Gurcharan.
The plant here is Cyperus michelianus subsp. pygmaeus (Rottb.) Asch. &
Graebn. as stated by him.
For your information, in present date, genus Juncellus has been merged
back into Cyperus and is considered as one of the subgenus.

Reference
Govaerts, R. (2004). World Checklist of Monocotyledons Database in
ACCESS: 1-54382. The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens,
Kew. [as Cyperus]
Govaerts, R. & Simpson, D.A. (2007). World Checklist of Cyperaceae.
Sedges: 1-765. The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens,
Kew. [as Cyperus]

Hope this helps.
Pankaj
