Carex iioi'Yegica Willd. Spec. 4 : 227. 1804. 



Collected in marshy ground near Irving Chase lake, Cass 

 county, Minn , {MacM. and Sheld., Aug., 1890). 



In specimens from this collection the terminal spike is dis- 

 tinctly long-contracted below with staminate flowers. It is 

 remarkable that this plant, which has hitherto been reported 

 for North America as occurring only in Maine and northward, 

 should be found in the heart of the Minnesota forest.

 frequently seen on the pine-barrens near the two above locali- 

 ties.
