nist, was a posthumous publication. I shall give his species in the 

 order and under the number published in his Descripiio, and make 

 such remarks as the examination renders proper, premising that the 

 species are commonly in separate leaves in the herbarium, and of 

 very easy reference. To J. Vaughan, Esq. 1 wish to offer my ac- 

 knowledgments for his polite attention in giving me access to the 

 herbarium, and also to Dr. C. Pickering for the aid afforded me in 

 the examination. It is due to the memory of Dr. Muhlenberg to 

 say, that some of the specimens may have been misplaced, even 

 though undesigned, by some who have examined this collection of 

 Carices.

the new and distinct C. setacea. 

 Has a C. cwta with it, while ours agree

 The plants under this name are labelled 

 with a query, but are probably the plant 

 he intended. If C. foenea has been 

 found north of Pennsylvania, it has prob- 

 ably been confounded with Cfestucacea. 

 There is one of the new C. cristata, in 

 the same leaf with this species, from the 

 southern states. 

 Exactly our plant, but has the new C. cris- 

 tata with it. C. straminea has its name 

 from the chaffy appearance of the spike- 

 lets. 

 Embraces C. crinita and C. paleacea — 

 ours the same.
