Ten species of the Cyperaceae from Ceylon were taxonomically discussed as a part of preliminary revision of the family toward a new Flora of Ceylon. The genera included in this treatment are: Cyperus, Carex, Fimbristylis and Hypolytrum. The two new species proposed are: Carex lankana and Fimbristylis zeylanica, Taxonomic discussions were made with a special emphasis in referring to the specimens housed in the Peradeniya Herbarium (PDA). In spite of richness in type and other important historical collections the specimens in Peradeniya have never been critically examined since Trimen's Handbook (1893-1900).
