125), — C. gynobasis (Vill. Dauph. ii. 206; Boiss. Voy. Esp. 630), = 
C. alpestris (All. Fl. Ped. ii. 270; Kunth, Enum. ii. 479). 
Mar. sept.—In monte Beni Hosmar prope Tetuan ! 
Mar. merid. — In Atlante Majore; legi in convalle Amsmiz circ. 
1500 m. ! 
Ar. Geog. Europa media et australis. Ad litora maris Caspii (fide 
Kunth). Spec. nulla ex Asia Minore nec ex Algeria vidi. 
CAREX AMBIGUA (Link in Schrad. Journ. 1799, 308; Kunth, Enum. 
ii. 479). 
Mar. sept.—Legi prope Cap. Spartel ! 
Mar. merid.—In convalle Ait Mesan, spec. nimis immatura ! 
Species paucis cognita, sed probe distincta utriculis glabris elliptico- 
ovoideis tricostatis, nec, ut in C. Halleriana, obovato-oblongis trigo- 
nis plurinerviis. 
Spec. ex Lusitania Transtagana in Herb. Kew. nostris conformia sunt, 
nisi presentia in spec. nostris fl. foemineorum 2-4 ad basin spice 
superioris masculz. 
Spec. ex Atlante Majore nimis immatura majora, culmis fere pedem longis, 
sed Tingitanis similia. Planta ulterius inquirenda. 
Ar. Geog. Lusitania. Marocco. 
C. pistans (L., Kunth, Enum. ii. 449). 
Mar. sept.—? In clivo montis Beni Hosmar prope Tetuan legi specimen 
nimis immaturum ! 
Spec. nostrum incertum, sed vix ad aliam speciem referendum, Teste 
cl. Willkomm C. distans nascitur in isthmo Gibraltarico. 
Ar. Geog. Frequens occurrit in Europa media et australi; necnon in 
Caucaso, et in America boreali. 
C. rissinosTRIS (Ball in Journ. Bot. 1875, 206). 
Dense ezspitosa; culmi numerosi, humiles (subspithamei), foliacei, 
leves, cum foliis elevato-striati; folia angusta szpius undulato-re- 
curva, scabriuscula ; spica mascula solitaria, squamis dorso obscure 
trinervibus, pallidis vel inferioribus tricoloribus ; spieze fæmineæ 3-4 
oblong, pedicellatæ, squamis dorso viridibus apice mucronatis, vel 
inferioribus in quavis spica membranaceis obtusis ; utriculi (vix satis 
maturi) virides, glabri, nervis duobus extramarginalibus prominenti- 
bus et alis subobsoletis instructi, in rostrum breve, apice in dentes 
duos acutos divergentes fissum, acuminati ; bracteze spicarum inferio- 
rum foliacez, elongate, spicam masculam superantes. 
Mar. merid.— Legimus in regione media Atlantis Majoris, in rupestri- 
bus siccis montis Djebel Tezah cire. 2000 m.! et verisimiliter eandem 
plantam in convalle Ait Mesan supra Arround, ultra 2000 m. s. m.! 
Species in grege C. distantis collocanda. Ab hae differt imprimis sta- 
tura multo minore, foliis angustioribus, spicis minoribus, squamis spic. 
foemin. inferioribus obtusis, utriculo minus inflato, nervis minus pro-
