The figure of aquatilis in “FI. Danica ’ 
(1852), seems to come between No. 3 and 4. 
In Don’s “Herbarium Britannicum,” fas. 8 (1806), 
No. 192, are specimens of the var. elatior of Babington, 
under the name of C. stricta, var.—new species—Carex, 
perhaps only a variety of stricta. He says: “I have seen 
this Carex in several places in Scotland, but it is of the 
rarer species. My specimens were collected from the side 
of the river Esk, near Eskmount, three miles from Brichen, 
in Angusshire.” 
In the “Comp. Cybele Brit.” (1870), 589, Mr. Watson 
mentions that Dr. Boott made out other affinities with 
forms of aquatilis, writing, “in the specimens from the 
Almond river (near Edinburgh) collected by Professor 
J. H. Balfour in September 1838, very like stricta (Lam.) 
of America.” Thus the C. Virginiana of Smith is placed 
next to aquatilis by Bailey;! and certainly some of the 
forms of aquatilis do come near to that very variable 
American species.
