by some authors. The one from Fries has a pair of too close-fruited 
spikes, Searcely sheathed, io nearly sessile, and bracts too leaf-like. 
others correspond chiefly to the above description, authorized by those of 
i ang, Anderson, Kunze and Steudel. In Hooker’s F 
mer, , Dr. Boott gave C. pheostachye, Smith, as synonymous with C. 
aa Tausch, as does Kunze also, and credited it to Greenland, Fort 
Norman on Mackenzie River, and Rocky Mts. It is doubtless the Euro- 
pean plant. Dr. Gray anfouges Mr. Paine, who had found a variety in 
this vicinity, that C. vaginata had been found near Montreal by the late 
". Macrae, a later at the * “ Riviere du Loup by Ws Boott.” A recent 
examination of Dr. Macrae’s Set by Prof. Brunel of Quebec did not 
étect any plant of that na ad ho 
Montreal specimens agreed with h the European or with the en found 
by Mr, Paine. This differs however from the European in so par- 
‘icibets that a more full account is given under the following name.
