 C. scoparia minor BofU 



Habitat similar to that of the type. It is known by its smaller size, 

 more narrow leaves and smaller brown heads. 



The yellow sedge, C, flava L., is abundant in many parts of the 

 Adirondacks, but is wanting in North Elba. More extensive search may 

 yet reveal it and also several other species of this large genus.
