5 MADISOX COUNTY 



The following species of Carex have been collected during the 

 past three seasons in Madison county : 



Near Oneida 



Carex cristata Schw. Carex scirpoides Schk. 



crawfordii FernaJd " rosea. Schk. 



pallescens Linn. ' aurea Niitt. 



Fiddler's green, Pecksport 



Carex communis Bailey Carex lacustris Willd. 



" granulans Muhl. " arctata BooU 



" palescens Ltnn. " bromoides Schk 



" laxiflora Lam. " rosea Schk. 



" cephaloidea Dewey " teretuiscula Good. 



" striata Law. " anvea. Nvtt. 



" grisea Wahl. " magellanica iam. 



According to Doctor Holm (in lit.), Lamarck in his diagnosis of 

 Carex magellanica meant that all of the spikes contain 

 some staminate flowers, a character constant in his Carex 

 magellanica, as well as in the European plant, the one named 

 Carex irrigua by Wahlenburg and finally also in our American 

 plant named Carex paupercula by L. C. Richardson. 

 Lamarck's name should be retained for these forms, and failure to 

 do so in recent works is apparently due to a misunderstanding of 

 Lamarck's diagnosis. 



Doctor Holm further remarks that regarding Carex tere- 

 tuiscula Good., the species designated by Schkuhr. as Carex 

 diandra is according to the author of it a mixture of Carex 

 teretuiscula Good. ,, Carex paradoxa and Carex
