CATALOGUE OP CANADIAN PLANTS. 169 



Oanby as C. pulla. Prof. Bailey, in his Carex Synopsis, page 66, seems 

 to refer these specimens to G. saxatilis, var. (?) miliaris, but on the pre- 

 ceding page he evidently places the same specimens under this 

 species. In the latter case I agree with him, as the Maine specimens 

 are over two feet in height. He says, speaking of var. (?) milliaris : 

 " very slender, six to sixteen inches high," which cuts out the Maine 

 (immature) specimens altogether, and, in my opinion, Prof. Fowler's 

 New Brunswick specimens also. It is just possible that C. pulla, 

 Gray, Man. 602, and C. Raeana, are the same, and my tall Anticosti 

 specimens of C. rotundata, and Prof. Porter's specimens from Maine, 

 are C. miliaris, Michx. Specimens collected at Lake Mistassini, by Mr. 

 J. M. Macoun, would also come in with C. miliaris. As it was at Lake 

 Mistassini that Michaux obtained the specimens on which he founded 

 the species, our view of the case may be the correct one. Wet shores 

 Eothesay and on the opposite side of the Kennebeccasis Eiver, N.B. 

 (Power, Cat.) Methy Portage, long. 110, lat. 57. (Richardson.) 

 While on the Portage in September, 1875, I looked for this species, 

 but brought away C. oligosperma instead of it. 



(2674.) C. miliaris, Michx., Fl. I., 174, (1803); Pursh, Fl. I., 41; 

 Hook., FJ. II., 224. 



C. saxatilis, var. (?) miliaris, Bailey, Bot. Gaz. IX., 120, (1884.) 

 C. pulla, var. (?) miliaris, Gray, Man. Ed. V. 602, (1868.) 

 Lake Mistassini, N.E.T. (Michaux. J. M. Macoun.} Ungava Bay, 

 Labrador, 1884. (Turner vide Bailey.} In wet gravel along Jupiter 

 Eiver, Anticosti, near its mouth, 1883. (Macoun.) The specimens 

 from the above mentioned places are all alike, but those from Anticosti 

 are much taller, and exactly match Prof. T. Porter's specimens from 

 Moosehead Lake, Maine. The Canadian specimens have their sheaths 

 more or less fibrous, and the perigynium a distinctly notched beak. 



(2675.) C. physocarpa, Presl, Eeliq. Hsenk. I. 205, (1830.) 



Abundant in the Bow Eiver Yalley, and along mountain streams up 

 to 5,500 feet, and extending from Morley westward through the Eocky 

 Mountains to Donald, in the Columbia Yalley. (Macoun.} Eocky 

 Mountains of British America. (Drummond.) 4%

Specimens collected on "The Twins," in James Bay, in July, 1887, 

 by J. M. Macoun, are referred here by Mr. Bennett, who says they are 

 identical with Norwegian specimens in his possession. (Macoun.)
