Spicis distinctis ; staminifera solitaria cylindracea, bractea trinervi; 
spicis pistilliferis binis vel ternis tristigmaticis ovatis subrotundis, su- 
perioribus sessilibus, superné saepe staminiferis, infima longo-exserte 
pedunculata ; fructibus ovatis triquetris subinflatis glabris nervosis lon- 
go-rostratis bidentatis, squama ovata acutiuscula subduplo longioribus. 
Culm 1—2 feet high, leafy at the base, triquetrous, recurved ; 
leaves linear, shorter than the culm, rough on the edge, purple at the 
base ; staminate spike one, with a short three-nerved bract, with ob- 
long obtuse scales; pistillate spikes two or three, upper two sessile, 
the third long pedunculate and projecting from the sheath, all with 
leafy bracts, ovate and roundish, densely flowered; stigmas three ; 
fruit ovate, subtriquetrous, subinflated, long-beaked, nerved and two 
toothed, diverging or reflexed ; pistillate scale ovate, obtuse or acu- 
tish, nearly half the length of the fruit. 
Grows in S. Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Itis No. 37 of Muh. 
Gram., and there called C. fulva with a query. tis not the C. fulva 
of Europe. It is not the C. Elliott, as it has been thought to be, 
as both plants can now be compared. It differs from this, in its fruit 
and scale and general habit; C. Eldotti is a rougher plant, and has 
more the habit of C. filiformis, and is rush-like, while this species 
has the common habit of the Carices. It appears to be between C. 
folliculata and C. flava.
