a manu Boottii * C. Wahlenbergiana”’ inscripta) ; Central Mada- 
gascar, Baron n. 1085 (a J. G. Baker, “ C. bengalensis, Roxb.” 
inscripta); Ivophinsornitra, Major n. 89. 
This may be arranged as a var. of Carex Renschiana, Boeck. ; 
the straight, much shorter beaks of the utricles give it a different 
aspect. 
5. CAREX RAMOSA, Schkuhr, Riedgr. ii. (1806) p. 40, t. Pppp. 
fir. 204.—Panicula magna, polystachya, ferrugineo-brunea ; 
panieule partiales composite, subpyramidate, laxe. Glume 
utriculi densius pilosuli; ceteroquin ut Carex Wahlenbergiana, 
Boott var. 6.—Kunth, Enum. ii. p. 507 partim (i. e. plants 
mascarenice); Boeck. in Linnea, xl. (1876) p. 359 | Boott tab.

Hab. in Bourbon, Richard, n. 7 in herb. Boott, (i. e. C. erini- 
gera, Boott, tt. 306-308]; Mauritius, Bojer (in herb. Kew), Du 
Petit Thouars (in herb. Boott, utriculi). 
Boeckeler is right, I think, in regarding C. erinigera, Boott 
type as exactly = C. ramosa, Schkuhr. But the line between this 
and C. Wahlenbergiana varr. B, y, Boott, is very fine.
