98 Mr. Rudge's Descriptions of 



Stylus stigraatibus tribus. 



Semina ovata, triquetra, glabra, acuminata lutea (Fig. 3. c). 



Habitat in Carolina. 



As Carex intumescens, above described, may possibly be sup- 

 posed, from its inflated capsules, to be nearly allied to Carex folli- 

 cular of Linne, I have annexed a figure of the latter taken from 

 a specimen I received from America, and of which there is one in 

 every respect similar in the Herbarium of Sir Joseph Banks.
