which species differs by having an unequal nut (prava, Boott) 
without a beak, the leaves not densely glandular beneath.

The utricle is distinctly hairy. Franchet says (and he appears 
to be right) that he had never seen this species, which is near 
C. ligata, Boott, but has a brown much thicker male spike.

In this species the style is 3-fid, the terminal spike female at 
top; Franchet, to whom (as to several modern caricologists) 
such characters are of the very lowest import, compares 
C. Spachiana with the Brunew, or suggests it may be nearer his 
C. Forficula. C. Spachiana appears to me as remote from 
C. brunea and from C. Forficula as is any species in the genus.
