REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST I9I7 I3 



The most interesting species represented in this package are the 

 following : 



Carex plat yphy 11a Carey, near Utica, June 1832 (as 

 Carex anceps). 



Carex oligocarpa Schk., Frankfort, Herkimer county, 

 June 1832. 



Carex care y ana Torrey, near Utica, June 1832 ( as 

 Carex plantaginea). 



Carex swanii (Fernald) Mackenzie, Oriskany, Oneida 

 county, June 29, 1832 (as Carex hirsuta). 



Carex livida (Wahl.) Willd., Oriskany swamp, June 29, 

 1832. 



Carex d e w e y a n a Schw., near Utica, June 1832. 



CoFlinsia verna Xutt., Utica, May 1832. This from 

 Oneida county is new to the state herbarium although we have speci- 

 mens of it from outside the State. Paine states that it occurs on 

 wet meadows on the flats of the Mohawk, just below Utica and on 

 the borders of a small pond near Utica (Kneiskern). He also cites 

 Gray's collection and one from Ithaca (Aiken). The latter speci- 

 men is in the Beck herbarium in the State Museum. J. V. Haberer,^ 

 who has contributed much of value to our knowledge of the flora 

 of central New York, does not mention this species in his notes on 

 the Plants of Oneida County and Vicinity and I assume that he has 

 not rediscovered this plant, which seems to have been known only 

 to Kneiskern and Grav.
