Near Mineral King (No. 1432) and near Whitney Meadows (No. 1706). f C. tolmiei 

 is one of the most perplexing of the Western Varices, and this variety subsessilis is 

 particularly puzzling. In some future revision of the species it will undoubtedly 

 he found to be worthy of specific rank. It is distinguished from the species by 

 the broader and more or less inflated soft perigynium, and by shorter, more sessile" 

 spikes. The strongly stoloniferous habit and broad leaves are also characteris- 

 tic.— L. H. I!.]
