Carex Cyperaceae 273 



attempt to make any disposition of MacDougal's report from Putnam 

 County in Coulter's Catalogue. Carex muricata of most American authors 

 of that period was C. spicata Hudson, a European species of %Bracteosae 

 which has become established locally from Nova Scotia to Virginia and 

 Ohio. 



9. Carex cephalantha (Bailey) Bickn. This northern and eastern 

 species was reported by Pepoon from Lake County as C. stellulata var. 

 cephalantha (Bailey) Fern., but no specimen could be found. Its occur- 

 rence in Indiana is improbable. 



Newf. to n. Mich, and Wis., southw. to Md., also on the Pacific coast 

 in Wash, and Vancouver Island. 



10. Carex Merritt-Fernaldii Mack. Peattie reports this species from 

 Dune Park (Porter County) and the Calumet District (Lake County). 

 The only specimen which could be found bearing this name, a collection 

 by Umbach from Lake County in the University of Wisconsin Herbarium, 

 is C. brevior. C. Merritt-Ferimldii has not been found in southern Michi- 

 gan and it is not likely that its range extends as far south as Indiana. 



Maine to Man., southw. to Mass. and n. N. Y. 



11. Carex hormathodes Fern. Pepoon includes this species of the salt 

 marshes of the Atlantic coast in his "Flora of the Chicago Region" with the 

 statement "bogs, not common." Collections upon which this report was 

 based could not be found but in all probability they should be referred to 

 C. Richii. Deam no. 54013, from near a small creek in a field a fourth 

 mile south of Archerville, Tippecanoe County, is more suggestive of this 

 species than any other but the specimen is immature. No other Coastal 

 Plain species are known from this area so that an occurrence of C. horma- 

 thodes here would seem to be almost certainly a chance introduction. 



Along the coast, Newf. to Va., in or near salt marshes. 



12. Carex projecta Mack. (Carex tribuloides var. reducta Bailey.) 

 Reported from Hendricks and Marion Counties but the specimens upon 

 which these reports were based are C. tribuloides. 



Newf. to B. C, southw. to D. C. and Iowa. 



13. Carex foenea Willd. (Carex argyrantha Tuckerm.) Reported from 

 the Lower Wabash Valley and from Gibson and Marshall Counties. Speci- 

 mens upon which Schneck's report from the Lower Wabash Valley was 

 based were not found but they should undoubtedly be referred to some 

 other species and the other reports also were probably based upon mis- 

 identifications. 



Que. to Mich., southw. to Va. and Ohio. 



14. Carex deflexa Hornem. A far northern species reported from 

 Miller (Lake County) by Peattie with the statement "according to Gates." 

 No specimen of his could be found, but in the University of Illinois 

 Herbarium is a collection of C. Emmonsii which bore the label "Carex 

 deflexa Hornem., sandy thicket, Miller, Ind. Agnes Chase no. 1791, May 

 30, 1902." The nearest known locality for C. deflexa is on the Keweenaw
