This differs from C. rostrata and C. vesicaria by the thick dark-colrd. male 
spikes, the suberect (not divaricate) ripe utricles, the fu-cous lurid grey colour of 
utricles with shorter beak.—In Jaeschke’s Lahoul collections is a young Carez with 
ll spikes, the lower peduncles carrying 3-4 spikes, style 3-fid, utricle glabrous ; 
ìt is too young for determination, and resembles generally C. acuta rather than C. 
acutiformis, but the style is 3-fid so that it must be placed here. 
121. C. tumida, Boott Carex, i. 66, t. 181; spikes 9-6 suberect, 
terminal one male long linear, lower fem. short-peduncled distant long- 
tylindric dense, fem. glumes lanceolate short aristate pale, style 3-fid, 
utricle ellipsoid fuscous glabrous suddenly narrowed into a conic-linear 
shortly-notched beak. Boeck. in Linnea, xli. 243.

Glabrous. Stes 19-18 im. Leares longer than stem, 1-3 in. broad. Terminal 
Spike 2 in., very narrow, pale. Lower spikes fem. 2-3 by i in., ripe fruits obliquely 
Suberect. Fem. glumes narrow-lanceolate, 3-nerved, “stramineous, shorter than 
Utricle, aristate or muticous; bracts much overtopping infl. Utrécle à in., not 
inflated, thin, obscurely nerved, lurid slate-colrd.; beak nearly as long as utricle 
its lower half conic. Nut obovoid -ellipsoid, trigonous, filling utricle.—T he swelling 
ùn the middle of the beak, figured and insisted on by Boott, is taken from a single 
(not well-ripe) collection ; in well-ripened fruits the lower half of the beak is conie 
the upper narrow oblong; it is hardly possible to describe it as tumid in the 
middle.
