330 Mr. D. Don’s Descriptions of Nine new Species 
6. C. setigera, trigyna; vaginis elongatis sulcatis, spicis cylindra- 
ceis strictis apice masculis; terminalibus omninó masculis, 
glumis latè ellipticis aristatis, arillis ovalibus triquetris 
rostratis scabris. 
Habitat in Nepaliæ alpibus. Wallich. y. 
Radix repens. Culmi erecti, pedales v. sesquipedales, foliosi, 
obtuse trigoni, inferné teretes, glabri, striati. Folia line- 
aria, plana, rigida, subtüs carinata, glabra, suprà scabra, 
lætè viridia, apice mucronata ; radicalia culmo longiora, 
basi sanguinea, et in vaginam longam cylindraceam, more 
Caricis ampullacee, rudimentis fibrosis connexam imbri- 
cata. Bracteæ inferiores longissime, foliis similes ; su- 
preme setaceæ : vaginis sesqui- v. bipollicaribus, glabris, 
sulcatis. Pedunculi stricti, ancipiti-compressi, striati, om- 
nino, nisi apices, læves, vaginis bractearum longiores, ipsi 
infra medium propria vaginulà instructi. Spice fæmineæ 
strictæ, plures (4—5), sesqui- v. bipollicares, cylindraceæ, 
densæ, apice semper masculæ ; inferioribus remotis, lon- 
giüs pedunculatis ; masculinis terminalibus, paucis (2—3), 
sessilibus, strictis, foemineis non absimilibus. Glume late 
ellipticæ, ferrugineæ, nitidæ, margine scarioso argenteo, 
nervo lutescente ultra ipsius squamæ apicem in aristam 
setaceam producto. Arill ovales, triquetri, mew. sca- 
bri, apice emarginati, glumis breviores. 
The habit of this species approaches near to Carex ampullacea; 
but the obtuse glumes and the smooth inflated fruit in that spe- 
cies will prevent their being confounded. E. 
*** Spicis sexu distinctis, masculis subsolitariis. 
7. C. chlorostachys, trigyna; vaginis nullis, spicis foemineis cy- 
lindraceis erectis pedunculatis ; masculis solitariis, glumis 
ovato-
