In grassy and moss-grown places in the Altaian. The specimens are characteristic in 

 having the glumes equalling the perigynia, or, frequently, even longer, rather narrow 

 and acuminate, completely black, not wing-margined, arched in a boat-shaped way, with 

 a more or less distinct dorsal nerve. The dorsal nerve is never of a light, but of a dark 

 colour, like the glume. The spikes are rather loosely flowered, the lower one ralliei- 

 dislant and long-stalked. The leaves arc of about the same length as the culms. It 

 recalls var. infiiscata, according to the description in Dhe.ieh, Revis. Caric. Bor. 

 (1841) p. 43, taken in north-eastern Siberia, on the rivers Lena and Kolyma. I have 

 had no opportunity of comparing with authentic material, and therefore dare not defi- 

 nitely refer it to this one. 



Distribution: Northern and middle Europe, northern and central Asia, arctic 

 America.
