34 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 



Haberer, June 20, 1912. No. 1912. Growing with Car ex 

 schweinitzii and apparently native. The soil here has prob- 

 ably never been in cultivation, being too stony and wet. If the 

 species is introduced, and all specimens heretofore found in this 

 country have been regarded as introduced, it is difficult to imagine 

 how it has reached this out of the way place, unless it has migrated 

 into this pasture from some nearby meadow where it was originally 

 introduced with grass seed. 



Carex kneiskernii Dewey 



Swale near Alder Creek, town of Boonville. Dr J. V. Haberer, 

 June 23, 1912. No. 1058. This species should, as Doctor Haberer 

 points out in a note attached to his specimens, be restored to the 

 company of valid species. The specimens contain good achenes and 

 no specimens of Carex arctata, with which species and 

 Carex castanea it is suspected of being a hybrid, was growing 

 near it. The type of Carex kneiskernii was probably col- 

 lected by Doctor Kneiskern somewhere near Fort Bull, in company 

 with Dewey, but of this we can not be certain. (See Paine's Cata- 

 logue of Plants of Oneida County.) Specimens of Carex are often 

 sterile and it is possible that some of the earlier collections of this 

 species were sterile, which led to its being regarded as a hybrid. 

 Doctor Haberer's specimens are fertile and match exactly the 

 description by Dewey in Wood's Classbook of Botany (page 764. 

 1868). 



Carex paupercula Michx. var. pallens Fernald 



Sphagnum bog near Oriskany. Dr J. V. Haberer, June 1904. 

 No. 3053. A rare form,' native of subarctic America from Quebec 

 to British Columbia. 



Carex projecta Mackenzie 



Rocky woodlands near White Lake, Forestport. Dr J. V. 

 Haberer, July 23, 1904. No. 3521. 



Carex schweinitzii Dewey 



Boggy soil in pasture along a cold spring stream, about a mile 

 north of Boonville. Dr J. V. Haberer, June 20, 1912. No. 10pp. 

 Doctor Haberer remarks that this sedge is not so rare in Oneida 

 county and vicinity as is commonly thought. It is rather abundant at 

 Franklin Springs, Capron, Litchfield, Paris, Cassville, Richfield 

 Junction, Oriskany, Trenton Falls, south of Utica, Alder Creek and 

 Sauquoit.
