620 MACKENZIE: NOTES ON CAREX 
liquely cut dorsally. Achenes lenticular, obovoid, 2 mm. long, 
I.5 mm. wide, substipitate, Soe apiculate, the slender style at 
length deciduous. Stigmas 
Professor Bailey has ae had? in his herbarium under the name 
here published, the four sheets of this species referred to below, 
all collected in Mariposa County by Mr. J. W. Congdon. As all 
of these specimens are in very poor desiccated condition, I have 
taken the liberty of designating as the type of this species a most 
excellent specimen collected by Professor W. L. Jepson in the 
Tuolumne Meadows, No. 4476, on the 2oth of July, 1911, and in 
my herbarium. This species is closely related in technical char- 
acters to Carex abrupta Mackenzie. However, the red scales in 
strong contrast with the green perigynia, together with the looser 
inflorescence, give it quite a different aspect, especially in fresh 
material.
