32a. Carex cephalantlia (Bailey) Bickn. Culms slender but stiff, 

 2.5-7.5 dm. high; leaf-blades 1.5-2.25 mm. wide, light green; spikes

 sharp-pointed, as long as body of perigynia, yellowish brown tinged, 

 the midvein prominent to apex; perigynia w'dely spreading at maturity, 

 ovate, 3.5-4 mm. long, many-nerved ventrally, strongly serrulate, con- 

 tracted into a strongly l)identate beak half as long as the body. Dis- 

 tinguished from Cart'x angustior by the wider, more strongly serrulate 

 and more strongly nerved and shorter beaked perigynia and by being 

 a larger plant in everj^ way. Sphagnum bogs and thickets: Newf. — Md. —

126 After C. Egglestonii insert: 



48a. Carex arapahoensis Ciokey. In small clumps, the culms 

 stiff, 2-4 dm. liigh; leaf-l)lades flat, 1.5-3 mm. wide, long-attenuate;

 2-2.25 mm. wide, thin, brownish -black, finely nerved on both sides, 

 abruptly contracted into the flat, serrulate, conspicuously hyaline-tipped 

 bidentate beak. Distinguished from No. 48 by the smaller hyaline-tipped 

 perigynia and from No. 49 by the serrulate flat beaks of the perigynia 

 and the flat leaf -blades. High mountains: Colo. Alp. — Subalp. Jl — Au. 

 131 After C. Rossii insert: 



85a. Carex pityophila Mackenzie. Densely cespitose, the root-

 3.5-4.5 mm. long, 1.75 mm. wide, the body oval, suborbicular in cross- 

 section, the l)eak smoothish except at the base, obliquely cleft, shallowly 

 bidentate. Differs from Carex Rossii in the smoothish beaked, obliquely
