Mr. D. Litwinow has separated the stenophylla-like Carex from 
Turkestan from the true C. stenophylla Whbg., on account of its nearly 
nerveless utricle with attenuated base and longer beak, and I find the same 
distinctive character in all the specimens with ripe fruits collected by O. 
Paulsen in Asia-Media. The utricle is thin-walled, at least in its basal 
part, and the nut does not fill it out, but I do not base a new species 
on these few characters alone, and therefore | take the Central-Asiatic 
form as var. desertorum Litw. of C. stenophylla; of the beneath men- 
tioned numbers the no.’s, 110, 476, 559 and 1625 agree exactely with 
the specimens of var. desertorwm distributed in the quoted exsiccatum 
(Kneucker, no. 153).
