CarEX JUNCEA Willd. Enum. Pl. Hort. Berol. Suppl. 63. 1809.— 
Specimens from Roan mountain, Mitchell county, North Carolina, are 
frequently displayed in herbaria and the handbooks treating on the 
fora record no other stations, although Boott* extends the range to 
the mountains of North Carolina and Georgia. At the summit of 
Craggy mountain ( 2000” elevation), Buncombe county, North Caro- 
lina, Carex juncea was found in abundance July 13, 1897, growing in 
dense tufts from the black, fertile soil characteristic of the high eleva- 
tions of the region.— C. D. Brapie, Biltmore, N. C.
