C. ROTUNDATA, Wahlb. Rather slender, 6 dm. or less high: 
staminate spike ı (rarely 2 or 3), short-peduncled; pistillate spikes 
1 or 2, sessile, short and compact, 8 to 13 mm. long, 6 to 8 mm. 
wide, the lower subtended by a divergent or somewhat ascending

membranaceous, few-nerved, subglobose-ovate, about 3 mm. long,

153, & Fl. Lap. 235; Gray, Man. ed. 5, 602; Bailey, Proc. Am. 
Acad. xxii. 67, in part, & Mem. Torr. Club, i. 39. — This name has 
been applied to numerous plants which are very different from the 
original plant of Wahlenberg. A specimen in the Gray Herbarium 
collected by Wahlenberg, himself, described above, and matched by 
a Greenland plant ( Warming & Holm), is essentially the plant from 
MAINE, outlet of Moosehead Lake, Aug. 24, 1867 (C. E. Smith). 
A specimen from the upper Mackenzie (Zyrre//7) is probably the 
same.
