Very near C. incurva, Lightf. ; in good fruit distinguished therefrom by black 
thick-walled utricle nearly filled by nut, in a younger state often distinguishable by 
prominent glistening white edge of glumes. But there are examples referred to C. 
stenophylia, Wahl. by Boott that are here placed under C. incurva, Lightf. or C. 
divisa, Hudson. Many examples of C. stenophylla are referred in herbaria to Kobresia 
(which is separated by the 3-fid style, but a 3-fid style occurs in Carez stenophylla.) 
—In a Himalayan example (Lance n. 285 in Herb. Kew) the ripe fruiting spikes are 
elongate, the lowest spike } inch distant, but the shining margins of glume and the 
black crustaceous nuts are exactly as in C. stenophylla, The characters taken from 
roughness of stem, breadth and incurviug of leaves, &c., mentioned carefully by 
European authors, were found not to be valid by Boott. 
3. C. divisa, Huds. Fl. Angl. 348; rhizome horizontal, spikes ovoid 
androgynous male at top forming one ovoid or oblong or interrupted com- 
pound spike, glumes brown, style 2-fid, utricle ovoid acuminate stout 
moderately nerved, beak short scabrous on margins. Good. in Trans. Linn.

sie Lo thon GR Cabul examples 3-6 in. Leaves often 3 stem, narrow, 
Margins usually incurved when dry. Infl. 2 by jin. interrupted at base (in well- 
developed examples). Lowest brach usually 4 inch, but sometimes overtopping infl. 
em. glumes ovate, hardly mucronate, brown, scarious margin narrow. Utricle 
greenish or yellowish, ultimately brown, somewhat thickened ; nerves 5-7 on plane 
face, slender, 11-13 on convex face rather stronger ; beak shortly bifid.— Much 
stouter than C. incurva and C. stenophylla, and utricles longer. ` Resembles gener- 
ally C. foliosa and C. nubigena, Don; the plane face of the utricle is in C, foliosa 
hardly striate at all; in C. nubigena strongly multistriate ; the utricle of C. divisa

short, Jumes, and more creeping rhizome. - The Kuram lley 
examples. Of Aftebieon weis collected (alt. 10,000 ft.] just outside the then frontier, 
and the Kashmir examples of Jacquemont cited by Boott are referred here to C.
