2. Carex Gmelini; spicis (4) pedunculatis approximatis oblongis terminali androgyna, 

 squamis ovatis longe cuspidatis, capsulis ellipticis compressis striatis glaberrimis stipitatis, 

 rostro perbrevi integro, bracteis foliaceis non vaginantibus culmoque triquetro superne ad 

 angulos foliis ad apices marginibus scabris, stigmatibus 3. (Tab. XXVII.) — Carex. n. 77. 

 Gmel. Fl. Sib. v. I. p. 139. t. SO. f. 1. 



Culm a foot high, triquetrous, rough at the angles above, leafy below. Leaves acuminate, linear, as long 

 as the culm, or nearly so, rough at the margin above. Bractew leafy, amplectaut at the base, not at all 

 sheathing, the margin rough. Spikes generally 4, oblong or subclavate, all more or less stalked, especially 

 the lower one, erect, approximate. Scales closely imbricated, large, dark brown, rather glossy, nerve scarcely 

 paler, rough at the back, and running out into a long scabrous, rigid point, about as long as the capsule. 

 Capsule oval, or broadly elliptical, compressed, with longitudinal striae, upon a conspicuous stalk, the mouth 

 forming a short entire beak. Stigmas 3. The male flowers occupy the lower part of the terminal spike, and 

 some few of them are mixed with the upper. — The species is allied to C. atrata and C. Buxbaumii, but 

 is truly distinct from both. We conceive the figure of Gmelin, above referred to, to be decidedly intended 

 for this plant ; though no author appears to have noticed it.
