Carex Kneiskernii Dewey 

 (C. castanea x arctata) 

 Along the edge of woodland near Newcomb. House 7421, July 

 15-30, i9 2 o; 7944> June 6, 1921. 



Carex viridula Michx. 



Common on the shores of Lake Harris. House 7391, July 15-30. 

 Nearly as abundant here is C. cryptolepis Mackenzie {no. 

 7392), and rarely also C. irregularis Schw. {no. 7394), 

 which seems to be a proliferous variety of C. cryptolepis. 

 Carex flava L. also is not rare here. 



A more detailed account of the flora of the township of Newcomb 

 is hoped to result from further studies during succeeding seasons. 

 The region is particularly rich in members of the genus Carex, and 

 the list below indicates those collected up to the end of the present 

 season (1921) :

Along a roadside near Newcomb occurs a colony of plants of 

 this species, doubtless formed from the growth of underground 

 stems, in which all the flowers are pure white. It is quite possible 

 that this has received a name. If so, I have not been able to locate 

 it and for the purpose of record it may be designated as forma 

 albiflorum, forma nova. , %
