altitude ; August. (1,218.) C. micwglochin, "Walil., was found in Northern 
Alaska, 1861-62, by Onion, Kinnicott, and Hardisty. 
Cakex sciepoidea, Miclix. From Maine (Blake) to Michigan ; Green- 
land and Arctic America; Rocky Mountains, (Drummond and others;) 
Cascade Mountains, Oregon. East Ilunilxddt and Clover Mountains, Nevada, 
and in the Uintas; 9-10,000 feet altitude ; August, September. (1,219.) 
Carex affinis, E. Br. Spike soHtary, staminate at top ; stigmas 3 ; 
scales acute, lanceolate, the lower awned ; near C. polytrichoides— Such is 
Brown's too brief description in Richardson's Appendix to Franklin's Narra- 
tive. Boott, in Hook Fl. Bor. A?n., remarks that the specimen in Herb. 
Banks, has setaceous leaves and looks like C jilifoUa. In his Illustrations 
he refers it to C. ohtusatci. It dilTers from C.filifolia in the form and texture 
of the scale and in its elhptical perigynium, not oval, nor scabrous except 
on the margins. Its orifice is not entire. From C. ohtusata it differs 
in its setaceous leaves, (those of ohtusata are described by European authors 
as flat, and so appear in both European and American specimens,) and in the 
shape and texture (not horny) of the perigynium, while the root is fibrous, 
Hot creeping. It is also closely allied to C. Lyoni, (named by Boott on an 
immature specimen,) but differs from his detailed description in the top of 
its leaves being hispid, the perigynium not entirely smooth, the style not 
inserted, nor the stigma short. Collected by Richardson in the wooded 
region of British America, latitude 54-60°, and by Vasey (591) in Colo- 
rado. East Humboldt Mountains and on Clover Peak, Nevada; 10-11,000 
feet altitude ; September. (1,220.) 
Carex disticha, Huds. From New York to Illinois and Wisconsin, 
and westward to the Saskatchewan and the Pacific ; California, (Bolander ;) 
Western Nevada, (Stretch, in Hcri). Torrey.) A single spike occurs in the 
collection, probably from the same region. (1,221.) 
Carex stipAta, MuhL From Arctic America to Florida and on the 
western coast to Columbia River. Near Farmington, Salt Lake Valley, Utah ; 
4,300 feet altitude ; June. (1,222.)
