There are in the collection three no.’s of a Carex-species from 
Pamir, which I refer to the above quoted variety of C. vesicaria. The 
plants are 50—75 cm high, consequently taller than the Scandinavian 
var. alpigena, and also coarser and more broad-leaved; but the shining, 
chestnut-brown utricle with the comparatively short, faintly bifid beak 
agrees well with the type of the variety. 
On the other hand our specimens belong without doubt to the same 
form which Mrs. O. Fedtschenko has described as var. pamirica. C. 
B. Clarke had named it “C. utrieulata Boott”.

Fl. Ross., p. 316. 
The specimens (see Fig. 4) represent an alpine form (var. pamirica Ostf. 
n. var.) of the C.songorica. The utricles are shining, darkly red-brown in 
the upper part, obsoletely nerved and not so abruptly attenuated into the 
bifid beak as in the main form. Culms erect, 35—40 em high. 
By C. B. Clarke the specimens had been named “C. nutans Host.”.
