Hab. North Carolina ! to Florida ! and New Orleans ! — 

 The examination of Muhlenberg's herbarium proves this spe- 

 cies to be the original C. verrucosa of that author. This name, 

 being the oldest, should, in strictness, be retained ; but inas- 

 much as the fruit is not in the slio^htest dcOTce verrucose, this 

 name would lead to error, while that of Elliott is remarkably 

 appropriate. Much confusion has also been caused by the 

 name verrucosa having been subsequently applied to another 

 species. We have therefore concluded not to restore the 

 original appellation of Muhlenberg to the present plant. 



C verrucosa of Schweinitz, of the monograph of N. American 

 Carices, and of Dewey's Caricography, is a variety of C. acuta 

 <;ollected by Schweinitz in North Carolina. We know not 

 what species Elliott has included under this name.

Hab. Cape May, New Jersey, Mr. Collins! — A doubtful 

 species established upon an immature specimen, which seems 

 to us exceedingly near C. recurva. Good. (C.flacca, SchJcuhr.) 

 It has been seen in no other locality.
