is plant is related to C. conoidea, C. tetanica, and C.

Schweinitz made it a new species with great propriety. 
Plates of noth of the new species of Carex described in 
this work, accompany this paper. The figures have been 
drawn by a ri distinguished for its accuracy in delineating 
plants. The figures are of the size of the originals. The 
dissections are on the right of the species to which they be-
