74 PKOCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [1887. 



Lancaster ; Franklin, Mercersburg. Common. 



54. Carex granularis, Muhl, var. Haleana, (C. Haleana, Oluey. Exsiccat. 

 fasc. iii, no. 14.) 



Glabrous ; leaves broad and very glaucous ; culms and peduncles 

 slender and weak ; fertile spikes much smaller and shorter ; perigy- 

 nia less than half the usual size, rather narrowly ovoid, not globular. 



Northampton, near Easton ; Lancaster, Smithville Swamp ; 

 Allegheny, Knipe. Outside of our limits, it has been collected 

 at Madison, Wise, by T. J. Hale, and in Montgomery County, Va., 

 by Dr. Joseph Leidy. 



55. Carex flava, L. 



Crawford, Conneaut Lake, Garber. The only station known. 



56. Carex CEderi, Retz. 



Erie, Pi'esque Isle, Garber. The only station known. 



57. Carex pallescens, L. 



Wayne, Garber ; Lackawanna, Carbondale, Garber ; Clinton, 

 McMinn. Rare. The southern limit of the species. 



58. Carex Torreyi, Tuckerman. 



Specimens of this rare species are reported as existing in European 

 herbaria, collected by Schweinitz near Bethlehem, Penna., and 

 named by him C. abbreviata. This may be correct, but among his 

 plants, no^y in possession of the Philadelphia Academy, there is a 

 sheet, at the top of which he has written " Carex lanosa abbreviata" 

 and at the bottom, " Bethlehem." The eight or ten specimens on 

 the sheet, fastened down with paper-strips, are all C. vestita, Willd. 

 Although sought for in his old haunts, C. Torreyi has not yet been 

 rediscovered. 



59. Carex conoidea, Schkuhr. 



Monroe, Water Gap, Knipe ; Northampton ; Bucks ; Dela- 

 ware, Canby ; Berks, near Reading; Lancaster; Franklin; 

 Lycoming, McMinn. 



60. Carex oligoearpa, Schkuhr. 



Northampton, Easton ; Bucks, Sellersville, Fretz ; Lancaster, 

 on the Conestoga. Rare. 



The specimens of Dr. Fretz exactly agree with those of Dr. Sart- 

 well from Penn Yan, W. N. York, and I cannot see in them any 

 likeness to the southern narrow-leaved variety of C. grisea, to Avhich 

 they have been referred. 



61. Carex Hitchcockiana, Dewey. 



Northampton, Easton ; Lancaster ; Allegheny, Knipe. 

 Rare.
