Var. (?) aurea, Bailey, Mem. Ton-. Bot. Club, I., 37. 



" Taller and mostly stouter than the species ; staminate spikes two to 

 three, mostly long-peduncled ; pistillate spikes one or two, the upper 

 sessile, the lower short-peduncled, often staminate at the apex, yellow 

 or stramineous ; perigynium thin and yellow as in C. vionile, mostly 

 prominently few-nerved, gradually produced into a conspicuous and 

 more or less toothed beak, bi'oader and usually longer than the light 

 brown or whitish muticous scale." Kennebeckasis, N.B. (Prof. Fowler, 

 fide Bailey.) 



(2675.) C. physocarpa, Presl. ; Macoun, Cat. IV., 169. 



Sparingly along Spallumsheen Arm, at Sicamous, B.C., July, 1889. 

 (Macmin.) 



(2679.) C. utriculata, Boott; Hook. Fl. II., 221. (1840.) 



References under C. rostrata. With., and its variety utriculata, Bailey, 

 Part IV., 170, 171, belong here. Specimens referred here were 

 collected in an immatui-e state at Agassiz, B.C., May, 1889. (Macoun.) 



(3200.) C. exsiccata, Bailey, Mem. Torr. Bot, Club, I. 6. 



C. vesicaria var. major, Boott; Macoun, Cat. IV., 171, in part 



" Differs at once from C. vesicaria by its greater size and broader 

 leaves, thicker and more nearly sessile spikes, and particularly by the 

 much longer, lance-ovate, scarcelj* inflated, duller and strongly nerved 

 perigynium, which is three or four times longer than the very narrow 

 and muticous scale. In some of its forms it strongly suggests C 

 trichocarpa, Muhl., var. aristata, Bailey." Wet marshy places, near 

 Victoria, Vancouver Island, 188.5, (Fletcher.) Common and variable 

 everywhere on Vancouver Island, 1887 ; on the mainlan<l of British 

 Columbia, from the coast to the Gold Range. (Macoun.) 



Var. globosa, Bailey, Mem. Torr., Bot. Club, I., 7. 



C. vesicaria var. major, Macoun, Cat. IV., 171, in part. 



" More slender than the species, the leaves narrow (^ in. or less 

 wide) ; spikes small (an inch or less long), more or less scattered, 

 closely sessile, ru.sty in color ; perigynium narrower, conspicuously 

 spreading; scale hyaline and very small." Home Lake, near Mount 

 Mark, Vancouver Island. 1887. (Macoun.)
