Six species belong to Eriocaulon genera were found growing in swampy or wet places near creek in Taiwan. They are as follows:

5. Eriocaulon sexangulare LINNAEUS
6. Eriocaulon truncatum BUCHANAN-HAMILTON ex MARTIUS
The specimens of these six species were compared by their morphology and histological characters as epidermis, parenchyma, vascular bundle, fiber bundle, particle size of crystals were found in Eriocauli Flos. The anatomical structures of the plants were also documented by hand drawing, and photographic methods the results were in plates.
