In the alpine Highlands of Scotland. 



At the head of a glen, called the Dcllj among the mountains of 

 Clova, Angusshire, near the limits of perpetual snow. Mr. G. 

 Don. 



Perennial. July. 



Rather larger than the last, from which it differs in its widely 

 creeping root, and less pointed or heaked fruit, but to which it 

 is much more related than to C. limosa, especially in its fruit, 

 which has 3 equal bluntish angles, with rather concave, smooth 

 interstices, not striated or ribbed, C. limosa belongs to a tribe 

 with compressed /r?«^ The leaves are roughish at the edges, 

 towards the point. Bracteas strongly keeled, with a very short, 

 ribbed sheath. Scales of all the catkins very dark, ovate, pointed. 

 Fertile catkins rather ovate-oblong than linear. Stigmas 3, 

 long, often cohering lengthwise. 



32. C. Pseudo-cyperus . Bastard-cyperus Carex. 



Sheaths scarcely any. Fertile catkins dense, cylindrical, 

 drooping, many-flowered. Scales awl-shaped. Fruit 

 spreading, lanceolate, furrowed, rough-edged, with a 

 deeply cloven beak.

On Hounslow heath. Bishop of Carlisle. On St. Faith's bogs near

Perennial. June. 



Notwithstanding its great size, and bright green colour, this 

 species is more allied to 2 or 3 of the foregoing than to any of 

 the following. The root is fibrous. Stem a foot or more in 

 height, with 3 sharp rough angles, and crowned with several 

 long, recurved, leafy, taper-pointed bracteas, slightly sheathing 

 at the base, with many rough ribs, and rough edges. Fertile- 

 catkins 3 or 4, on long, triangular, rough stalks, green, droop-
