It is not known in Indiana from the habitat ascribed to it by Mackenzie 

 ("dry woods and copses," N. Amer. Flora 18: 290. 1935).

96a. Carex debilis var. Rudgei Bailey. (Carex flexuosa Muhl., Carex 

 tenuis Ruclge, and Carex debilis var. strictior Bailey.) Map 522. Infre- 

 quent near the northern border of Indiana where it is found in low 

 beech-maple woods. Any specimens which may have formed the basis for 

 the report of this variety (as C. tenuis) from Jefferson County in Coulter's 

 Catalogue doubtless should be referred to C. debilis. 



Although Carex debilis and its variety Rudgei are geographically widely 

 separated in Indiana their ranges overlap farther east.

27. § LONGIROSTRES 



97. Carex Sprengelii Dewey. (Carex longi7*ostris Torr.) Map 523. A 

 local species known in the state only from the lake area. The Miami and 

 Noble County stations are in bluegrass sod along roadsides; that of 

 De Kalb County, on a wooded flood plain with beech and black maple ; that 

 of Steuben County, a low depression in woods ; the Wabash County, the 

 side of "Hanging Rock" on the south bank of the Wabash River, southeast 

 of Lagro ; the White County, a moist wooded bottom along the Tippe- 

 canoe River, northeast of Buffalo. Its usual habitats, outside Indiana, are 

 rich rocky woods especially in moist depressions, and on crests of calcare- 

 ous river bluffs or the tops of limestone boulders in open woods. It is often 

 in large colonies where found.
