(2592.) C. albata, Bailey, in herb. 



Prof. Bailey considers this the American representative of C. frigida, 

 Allioni. It is a most remarkable and distinct Carex, and can be recog- 

 nized at once by its dark brown spikelets, and long, narrow, and spread- 

 ing perigynia, Spikelets usually four, nearly all staminate at the apex ; 

 scales brown, scarious-margined and blunt, and scarcely half as long as 

 the tapering perigynium which is toothed at the apex. The lowest 

 spikelet is generally long peduncled, and often four inches below the 

 next one above, the two upper ones are so close together that they 

 appear as one. Grathered in quantity on the borders of small ponds, 

 Mount Mark, Vancouver Island, alt. 2,500 feet, July 27th, 1887.
