in C, Myosurus (and its subspecies). There is a plant 
figured by Boott (Carex, t. 237) and marked by him in 
his herbarium “ (. baccans, an Var. an Sp. nova?” first 
collected by Sir J. Hooker in the Khasi Hills. In this 
the ripe utricles get sometimes remarkably red though 
not at all succulent ; but the female glumes are 3—5-nerved 
close to their keel only, and this var. is perhaps more 
nearly allied to C. Myoswrus, Nees, than to OC. baccans.—
