referens Caricis Persvonii. Spicule pauciflore. Hujus 
memorabilis formee ceespitem circiter culmorum octodecim 
in consortio normalis plantis prope Erlangum quondam legi. 
“ Habitus Caricis canescentis statim a precedente Carice 
norvegica differt. Color normalis illius pallide canescens,

2. Var. robusta (Blytt) in Andes, “ Cyp. Scand.” (1849), 
57. The reference to the “Sum. Veg. Scand.” (1846), is to

glawea, Murray, “ Strip. Goett.,” 1700. 
In a letter Mr. C. B. Clarke writes as to this:— 
“ Printed by Nyman, copied by nearly all since, even by 
Richter, who is usually more careful. But as far as we 
can discover here (i.e. Kew), it is purely a falsehood with a 
purpose; we cannot find the name glauca in Murray's.
