•Carex Fraseri And. 



The following remarks of Prof. T. C. Porter render it evident 

 that this rare and odd sedge came originally from Randolph or 

 Barbour County, each of which lies between the headwaters of 

 the two Kanawhas: 



<^ Muhlenberg, in his Descriptio uberior Gratninum, etc., p. 265, 

 under C. lagopus ? v^\v\c\\.\s C. Fraseri, Andrews adds these words: 

 *■ Habitat in Tyger- Valley, Pennsylvaniae, unde siccain habeo et 

 vivam.'" Kin, the German gardener who collected in Pennsyl- 

 vania brought it home, and his label reads thus: 'Deigher 

 Walli in der Wilternus. ' Dr. Gray has shrewdly conjectured 

 that by ' Deigher Walli, ' or Tygert Valley, is meant Tygart's Valley, 

 which lies further south in Virginia." In a foot-note. Professor 

 Porter adds, "A box containing the Carices of Muhlenberg has 

 just been discovered (1877) in the herbarium of the Academy, 

 Philadelphia, and the label attached to the specimens of Kin's 

 collection places Tyger Valley ' prope amnem Kenahway.' " 



Mr. Nuttall has found a plentiful station for this species near 

 Nuttallburg in the Great Kanawha region.
