Luzula Carolinae S. Wats., founded on a specimen from Grand- 

 father Mountain, North Carolina, is Juncoidcs pilosum. The elon-

 stem and not the bract subtending the inflorescence.

 cylindric spike : sepals and petals lanceolate, 3—4 mm. long, 

 acuminate, greenish or pale brown, soft and hyaline at the tip : 

 capsule obovoid, 2.5—3 mm - l° n g, manifestly longer than thick.
