Lvcnv Arcnireraco (C. Wright, 363!). Herb. Kew. 
The utricles agree closely with those of C. Boottiana, Hook. et 
Arn.; but it might be made a distinct species. The bracts are 
sometimes more than twice the length depicted in Boott's tab. 354. 
Though Boott included this Luchu plant in C. wahuensis (Carex, 
pp. 111, 112), yet he subsequently (p. 160) joined it with his 
C. Bongardi (i. e. C. Boottiana, Hook. et Arn.) ; for his locality 
for C. Bongardi, viz. * Bonin Island, Loochoo, Bongard (herb. 
Hooker) Wright, N. Pacific Exped. U.S. (herb. Gray),” must 
mean that he put together the Bonin and Luchu plants.
