Var. ANGUSTATA, Bailey, Carex Cat. (1884.) 



Man 



Very slender ; spikes few and very few-flowered, mostly all 

 contiguous; perigynium lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, twice or 

 more the length of the scale. New York, Vermont and north- 

 ward. Rare. 



82. — Carex FULVA, Gooden., was described by its author as 

 coming from Newfoundland as well as England. With the excep- 

 tion of an adventitious plant found over fifty years ago at Tewks- 

 bury, Mass., by B. D. Greene, the plant has not been cata- 

 logued from America since Goodenough's time. Goodenough's 

 originals in Hb. Kew. explain the perplexity. Part of the sheet 

 is C. fulvay and part is an immature form of C. flava (evidently 

 C. flava var, graminis, Bailey). The C. Jlava is undoubtedly 

 the Newfoundland plant.

there can be no doubt that the C, rostrata of Stokes is the same 

 as C. ampiillacca of Goodenough. Stokes refers to Leer's figure 

 of C, vcsicaria, Oj (FL Hert t. 16, 2), and this figure is unmis- 

 takably Goodenough's C. ampiillacca. It is a singular circum- 

 stance that Schkuhr in the index to his Nachtrag ( 1 806) 

 makes " C rostrata^ Weith/' a synonym of C, ampnllacea, 

 "Weith/* is undoubtedly meant for ''With/' Hudson's C. vest- 

 carta (Fl. Angl. Ed, i. 353 (1762) ) is the same plant.

 A study of much material, in field and herbarium, renders 

 the differences between the European C. rostrata and our plant 

 apparent. Ever since collecting the slender form of our plant
