 ,, stricta. Good, var. (?) — A Carex gathered on Temple Island, 

 growing in large tufts on the shore, is doubtfully 

 referred to this species. The final spikelet is solitary, 

 slender, and somewhat pendulous, and its lower half 

 tapering and gradually depauperated. The lower 

 bract falls considerably short at the apex of the termi- 

 nal male spikelet. This Carex has been submitted 

 to Mr. A. Bennett, who is unable to identify it with 

 certainty, suggesting C. aquatilis epigyis, except for 

 the nerves on the fruit, which are very distinct.
