3. A NORTHERN RELATIVE OF CAREX BREVIOR 
In the northern part of the United States from Maine to 
Michigan and in southern Canada from Ontario to Manitoba, 
there is found a large, robust and handsome member of the 
Ovales. It has five to ten spikes, which normally are well sep- 
arated, but plants with approximate or subapproximate spikes 
are not uncommon. It is the plant treated by Professor Fernald 
as Carex festucacea Scik. (Proc. Am. Acad. 37: 477. pl. 3, f. 
47-48), and also so treated in Gray’s Manual (7th ed., p. 221. f. 
363). To it is added in the treatments referred to a variety 
brevior (Dewey) Fernald, distinguished by having but three to 
six approximate or subapproximate spikes.
