MACKENZIE: NoTES ON CAREX 245 
CAREX LASIOCARPA Ehrh. Hann. Mag. g: 132. 1784. 
“Carex filiformis L.” Good. Trans. Linn, Soc. 2: 172, and 
of all American authors ; not Carex filiformis L. 
European writers have determined that the name Carex /fili- 
Jormis L. is not applicable to the plant which has so generally 
borne the name, but is properly applicable to Carex tomentosa L. 
Accordingly they now apply the name Carex /asiocarpa Ehrh. to 
the plant heretofore known as Carex filiformis L.—a course which 
is here followed. The description and locality of the plant of 
Linnaeus do not apply to the plant treated by authors as Carex 
Jiliformis, although there is a specimen of this plant in the Linnzean 
herbarium so named. See on this point Kiikenthal, Pflanzenreich 
4”: 748.
