252 Lake Maxinkuckee, Physical and Biological Survey 

 156. MEADOW SEDGE 



CAREX GRAN CLARIS Muhl. 



Like the majority of sedges, this species prefers flat, open moist 

 soil like that at the edges of the natural meadows or lake plains. 

 Specimens were collected southwest of the lake, June 26, 1910. 



157. GRAY SEDGE 



CAREX GRISEA Wah'. 



A dry-ground woodland sedge. Collected south of the lake on 

 June 26, 1901. 



158. GRACEFUL SEDGE 



CAREX GRACILLIMA Schwein. 



Rather common, in moist shady places. Collected in Farrar's 

 woods, almost dead ripe on June 17, 1901. 



159. RIBBED SEDGE 



CAREX VIRESCENS Muhl. 



A sedge of dry woodlands, growing in somewhat similar situa- 

 tions as those where C. pennsylvanica thrives. Specimens collected 

 in Farrar's woods, June 17, 1901. 



160. HIRSUTE SEDGE 



CAREX COMPLANATA Torr. 



A sedge much like this, but with spikes too small to agree with 

 descriptions of the typical form, was rather common in Farrar's 

 woods. It was obtained in fruit on June 17, 1901. 



161. BROWN SEDGE 



CAREX BUXBAUMII Wah!. 



Specimens of this sedge were obtained in low ground along the 

 railroad on June 17, 1901. 



162. TUSSOCK SEDGE 



CAREX STRICTA Lam. 



A common sedge in Green's marsh, and forming much of the 

 growth back of Green's field east of Lost Lake outlet. A rather 

 tall wiry sedge, frequently covering great areas of flat ground in 

 the northwest. Formerly not used except for packing, it has re- 

 cently become of some economic importance as the raw material 

 from which "Crex" carpets and mattings are made.
