Isolepis
 Isolepis is a cosmopolitan genus of sedge containing around 70 species. Isolepis is found in cool tropical and temperate climates often in Africa and Australasia.It was first described by prolific botanist Robert Brown in 1810. In 1870 a botanist Boeckler dispanded the genus putting most of the names under a different genus Scirpus. By the early 20th century Isolepis ceased to exist with other botanists following on from Boeckler's work.
