Abstract
The purpose of this note is to record the addition of a species of Uncinia to the South Georgia flora, which comprises only fifteen known phanerogams. The sedge was collected by Mr. Jeremy Smith, who was a member of the 1957-1958 Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey and is described below and named in his honour, he having been killed in a climbing accident in 1959This very surprising new species is entirely confined to the Cumberland Bay area, occurring quite frequently in the Festuca moorland, which is dominated by Festuca erecta Urville, growing in normal well-drained sites between the elevations of 3 m. at Hamberg Glacier and 330 m. on Osmic Hill.
