Lake Maxinkuckee, Physical and Biological Survey 249 

 139. WHITE BEAKED-RUSH 



RYNCHOSPORA ALBA (L.) Vahl 



We have specimens of this species in our collection, probably 

 from the swampy flat north of Lost Lake. A rather inconspicuous 

 rush-like plant. 



140. WATER BOG-RUSH 



MARISCUS MARISCOIDES (Muhl.) Kuntze 



A rather homely rush-like plant found generally near the 

 water's edge and often hidden among the bulrushes with which it 

 often grows. Only 1 small patch was found, growing along the 

 western shore of Lost Lake. 



141. LOW NUT-RUSH 



SCLERIA VERTICILLATA Muhl. 



Fairly common in the flat ground north of Lost Lake. The 

 white achenes or nutlets are quite conspicuous when ripe, and 

 when viewed closely, exhibit under magnification an interesting 

 and attractive sculpture. 



142. STELLATE SEDGE 



CAREX ROSEA Schk. 



A common sedge in dry woodlands such as at Long Point and in 

 parts of Farrar's woods. A slender, rather inconspicuous sedge, 

 with a small few-seeded spike, the perigynea radiating at maturity. 

 Some of our specimens were smooth instead of rough above, and 

 may have been C. retroftexa Muhl., which has been by some re- 

 garded as a variety of this. Fruits ripening about the middle of 

 June. 



143. SOFT FOX SEDGE 



CAREX CONJUNCTA Boott 



Occasional in moist open places among other sedges, forming 

 clumps. Collected in Green's marsh on the second of June, 1901, 

 when the heads were well formed. 



144. FOX SEDGE 



CAREX VULPINOIDEA Michx. 



Common, but rather scattered in low sedgy flats, as between the 

 road and the south shore of Outlet Bay and in the low grounds west 

 of Green's marsh; found also by the icehouses. One of the most 

 common and best known of the sedges with flat perigynea and 

 lenticular fruit. The fruit was well formed by the middle of June.
