We discuss nomenclatural and taxonomic matters pertaining to three species of New World Cyperus. We provide correct names for three species hitherto known as: Cyperus friburgensis, C. niger, and C. spectabilis. Also, C. multifolius, and C. penicillatus are noted as overlooked synonyms of C. prolixus. New combinations are made for the varieties previously recognized in C. niger.
