 163. NODDING SEDGE 



CAREX GYNANDRA Schwein. 



Collected June 11, 1901, at the edge of Farrar's pond. 



164. WOOLLY SEDGE 



CAREX LANUGINOSA Michx. 



This appears to be a common sedge in the low flats about the 

 lake, it and C. stricta forming the main mass of the dense sedge 

 growth in Green's marsh and about Lost Lake. It propagates ex- 

 tensively by rootstocks and bears fruit but rarely. The spikes 

 are small and inconspicuous and are covered with a dense brown 

 velvety growth of fuzz. It and C. stricta together form the bulk 

 of "prairie hay" used at the lake chiefly for filling in the ice-houses, 

 and in general use for packing. 



This sedge was up bright and green by April 13, 1901, along 

 the railroad between the lakes, north of Green's marsh, and also 

 north of Lost Lake. It bore well formed fruit by June 8.
