 belonging to this species.

 beyond Kennedy's Bush, Governor's Bay. Some of the specimens have 

 rather the character of C. semi-Forsteri. 



I have paid too little attention to the genus Carex to be able to give 

 a coniplete list, consequently additional species are to be expected here. 



J. B. A. gives in addition (^)C'. pyrenaica, (^)C. teretiuscula, (^)C. steUn- 

 lala, {^)C. testac:ea, {^)C. inversa, (^)C. vacillans. Some of these probably 

 occur.
