This is the commonest representative of C. vulgaris Fries on the Pacific coast, and it has 
been mistaken for C’. vulgaris juncella Fries. Our plant has commonly been called C. decidua 
Boott, a species from Terra del Fuego and the Falkland Islands, but that has conspicuously 
stipitate perigynia. Specimens from the mouth of the Columbia, Oregon, collected by 
Hinds and by Henderson have stipitate perigynia and represent either true C. decidua or a 
very closely allied species.
