culms few, very slender, often reclining; leaves narrow, weak, com- 
monly as long or louger than the culms; staminate spike } ineh 
or less long, often inconspicuous; pistillate spikes small (3 to 8- 
flowered), more or less globular, some ‘of the lower on radical 
peduncles, the upper one, or two, close to the staminate spike and

Northern New England to Greenland and Alaska; also, in

_C. deflexa, Hornem , is the Greenland form of the species, dif- 
fering from the Southern form in its much smaller size, greater 
eva. It appears to me at present that the stiff and long culms,

C. Nowe Anglie. : 
Var. Rossrr. Culms and leaves firm and upright; the leaves 
often very strict and nearly always longer than the culms; pistillate 
Spikes 1 to 4-flowered, linear, upright, light colored; perigynia 
loosely alternate on a zigzag rachis, the flattened beak longer or 
shorter than the body, less hairy than in the species. —C. Rossii,
