Specimens with immature fruits were collected on Aug. 7th 1905. 
I agree with H. G. Smmons in taking C. membranopacta Bai. as a 
separate species, the Arctic-American representative of C. pulla Goop. and 
C. rotundata Wusc. When I wrote up the Carices for my Flora arctica 
I only had insufficient material of this species at my disposal and there- 
fore united it with the nearest allied species: C. rotundata. It differs — 
as pointed out by Sımmoxs — from this and from C. pulla in its inflated, 
membranaceous, on drying collapsed utricles with very short beak.
