This is very near C. japonica, Thunb., i.e. its small form. In 
short, Boott’s first specimen of C. japonica in his own herbarium, 
named by his hand, is C. Wright n. 15, which I call C. mollicula, 
Boott. Boott lays stress on the red glands immersed in the 
utricle of C. mollicula, which are promineut in Wilford n. 842, 
but wanting in most of the Japan material. C. mollicula must 
be diagnosed as having a very small subsessile male spike, and 
the style-branches shorter than the utricle. 
89. Carex mosoynensis, Franch. in Bull. Soc. Philom. Paris, 
8me sér., vii, (1895) p. 31, e£ in Nouv. Arch. Mus. 3me sér., viii.

Yunnan: Mosoyn (Delavay, 4458, 4831 !). 
This species, again, may be called C. brunnea, Thunb., in a 
broad sense. It differs from both C. Tonnerrei and C. gen- 
tilis in its larger utricle; also from C. Tonnerrei in its strong 
creeping rhizome, and from C. gentilis by its nearly glabrous 
utricle.
