34 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 
Haberer, June 20, 1912. No. 1912. Growing with Carex 
sch weinitzii and apparently native. The soil here has prob- 
ably never been in cultivation, being too stony and wet. If the 
species is introduced, and all specimens heretofore found in this 
country have been regarded as introduced, it is difficult to imagine 
how it has reached this out, of the way place, unless it has migrated 
into this pasture from some nearby meadow where it was originally 
introduced with grass seed. 
Carex kneiskernii Dewey 
Swale near Alder Creek, town of Boonville. Dr J. V. Haberer, 
June 23, 1912. No. 1058. This species should, as Doctor Haberer 
points out in a note attached to his specimens, be restored to the 
company of valid species. The specimens contain good achenes and 
no specimens of Carex arctata, with which species and 
Carex castanea itis suspected of being a hybrid, was growing 
near it. The type of Carex kneiskernii was probably col- 
lected by Doctor Kneiskern somewhere near Fort Bull, in company 
with Dewey, but of this we can not be certain. (See Paine’s Cata- 
logue of Plants of Oneida County.) Specimens of Carex are often 
sterile and it is possible that some of the earlier collections of this 
species were sterile, which led to its being regarded as a hybrid. 
Doctor Haberer’s specimens are fertile and match exactly the 
description by Dewey in Wood’s Classbook of Botany (page 764. 
1868). 
Carex paupercula Michx. var. pallens Fernald 
Sphagnum bog near Oriskany. Dr J. V. Haberer, June 1904. 
No. 3053. A rare form, native of subarctic America from Quebec 
to British Columbia. 
Carex projecta Mackenzie 
Rocky woodlands near White Lake, Forestport. Dr J. V. 
Haberer, July 23, 1904. No. 3521. 
Carex schweinitzii Dewey 
Boggy soil in pasture along a cold spring stream, about a mile 
north of Boonville. Dr J. V. Haberer, June 20, 1912. No. 1099. 
Doctor Haberer remarks that this sedge is not so rare in Oneida 
county and vicinity as is commonly thought. It is rather abundant at 
Franklin Springs, Capron, Litchfield, Paris, Cassville, Richfield 
Junction, Oriskany, Trenton Falls, south of Utica, Alder Creek and 
Sauquoit.
