Bretschneider’s plant matches the type of Host; all the rest 
of the Chinese “nutans” is C. heterostachya, Bunge, which only 
slightly differs.

Boott attributes this plant to China, but it does not appear on 
what authority, and there is no Chinese example in his herbarium. 
The plant is only introduced in America, fide Bailey, l. c. ; and 
is not admitted by Franchet in his Carex of East Asia. The 
Chinese habitat, therefore, hangs almost entirely on the correct- 
ness of Bunge’s identification.
