Abstract Uncinia obtusifolia Heenan is described as a
new species from New Zealand. This widespread plant has previously been
included in U. nervosa as an unnamed slender-leaved form. Uncinia
obtusifolia is distinguished from U. nervosa by narrower leaves,
culms, spikes, and utricles, longer utricles, shorter glumes, more distant
florets, and a narrower and longer nut.
