CAREX NOTES. 
By C. E. Sazmon, F.L.S. 
I RecENTLY sent a small parcel of came to the Pfarrer Kiiken- 
thal for determination. Two or three plants bear names unfamiliar 
to the British botanist, so I have mone to print the more i inter- 
— results of his examination 
Where possible I have added the original descriptions of the 
varieties quoted, and a few supplementary notes, in whi 
Bennett, Mr. C. B. Clarke, and the Rev. E. 9. Marshall have 
kindly assisted me. 
C. stricta var. homalocarpa and C. — var. humilis do not 
seem to have been recorded as British tish before
