274 Cyperaceae Carex 



Peninsula, Michigan, the extreme northern tip of the Upper Peninsula. 

 The report of its occurrence in Indiana is not plausible. 

 Greenland to Alaska, southw. to Mass., n. Mich., and B. C. 



15. Carex pedunculata Muhl. Coulter says of this species, in his 

 Catalogue, "Specimens I have examined leave no room for doubt as to its 

 occurrence in our area," and he ascribes a record from Steuben County 

 to Bradner and one from Noble County to Van Gorder. It is more than 

 likely that the species occurs, or did occur, in these northern counties 

 since it is known from Kalamazoo County, Michigan, and from Jo Daviess 

 County, Illinois, but it must be excluded at present for lack of a confirm- 

 ing specimen. It should be looked for in rich beech or maple woods in the 

 northern counties early in May as it matures early and the fruiting culms 

 rapidly wither away. 



Newf. to B. C, southw. to Va., 111., and S. Dak. 



16. Carex livida (Wahl.) Willd. Reported from Clark County by 

 Baird & Taylor and from Lake County by Pepoon. No specimens could be 

 found and doubtless specimens forming the basis of these reports should 

 be referred to some other species. 



Sphagnum bogs, Lab. and Man. to Alaska, southw. to Conn., N. J., Mich., 

 Idaho, and n. Calif. ; also in n. Europe. 



17. Carex saltuensis Bailey. (Carex vaginata of American authors.) 

 A boreal species reported from Lake County by Higley & Raddin and by 

 Peattie (who ascribe the record to Hill) , and by Pepoon, but no collections 

 bearing this name could be found. A species which reaches the southern 

 limit of its known range so much farther north is not to be expected in 

 Indiana. 



Lab. to Yukon, southw. to n. New England, n. N. Y., n. Mich., n. 

 Minn., and B. C. 



18. Carex ormostachya Wiegand. (Rhodora 24: 196-197. 1922.) 

 Deam's report in 1928 for this species from Porter County was based 

 upon a collection (Deam no. 44381) so named by Mackenzie. This collection 

 should be referred to C. laxiflora, a determination confirmed (as C. anceps 

 Muhl.) by Professor Wiegand in 1935. 



Que. to Minn., southw. to Mass. and Pa. 



19. Carex rectior Mack. (N. Amer. Flora 18: 261. 1935.) (Carex 

 granulans var. recta Dewey.) This seems questionably distinct from C. 

 granularis. Mackenzie (N. Amer. Flora 18: 262. 1935.) credits it to 

 Indiana in addition to Alabama and Louisiana but the two Indiana collec- 

 tions referred by him to C. rectior are immature. One (Deam no. 44317, 

 Elkhart County) is so immature that it cannot be distinguished fromTTT. 

 granularis by means of his key or description; the other (Deam no. 41204, 

 Jefferson County) is sufficiently mature to show the perigynia to be 

 strongly ribbed and sessile, characters used by Mackenzie to distinguish 

 C. granularis from C. rectior.
