Spikes shorter than in the species, usually short-peduncled, erect or 

 nearly 80, much more densely flowered, part of them usually con- 

 tiguous at the top of the culm, rendering the shorter staminate spike 

 inconspicuous ; perigynium usually much larger. (Bailey.) Lake 

 Mistassini, N.E.T. (J. M. Macoun.) Common at Belleville, and west- 

 ward through the northern part of Ontario to Nipigon Eiver, north of 

 Lake Superior and south-west to Kakabeka Falls, west of that lake. 

 This is evidently the northern form, and is quite distinct in appear- 

 ance from the species. Many of the eastern references very likely 

 belong here. (Macoun.)
