Var. aristata, Bailey, Bot. Gaz. X., 293, (1885.) 



C. aristata, E. Br. ; Hook., Fl. II., 222, (1840) ; Macoun, Cat. No. 1958. 



C. atherodes, Sprengl. Syst. Veg. III., 828. 



C. orthostachys, C. Meyer, Fl. Alt. IV., 231. 



C. aristata var. longo-lanceata, Dew. Sill. Journ. XVIII., 102, (1854.) 



Marshes along the Grand Trunk Eailwuy, three miles east and five 

 miles v^rest of Belleville, Ont., and in low boggy places, Ci-ovr Eiver, 

 •close to the bridge at Marmora, Hastings Co., Ont. (Macoun.) Wet 

 ground near the Ottawa and Prescott Eailway, Prescott, Ont. {Billings.) 

 Lakes Superior and Huron. (^Richardson.) Along the Kaministiqua 

 Eiver twenty miles from Lake Superior ; very abundant throughout 

 the whole prairie region, and extending north to Peace River and 

 Lake Athabasca, to the base of the Eocky Mountains at Morley, 

 and in the Columbia Valley at Donald. (Macoun.) Nelson Eiver, 

 Keewatin. (iJ. Bell.) Cumberland House, and Fort Carleton, on the 

 Saskatchewan. {Hooker, Fl.) This Garex produces much of the marsh 

 hay of the prairie region, and in summer is the chief food of Indian 

 ponies. It never grows in brackish marshes, and all ponds where 

 it grows have good water the whole season. 



Dr. Gray and Prof. Bailey place G. mirata, Dewey, under this 

 variety, but I think they are in erroi", as it has not the characters 

 which separate this form from the species, but rather those of variety 

 imberbis. I believe, however, it is a distinct variety. An examination 

 of Prof. Dewey's Herbarium will decide this, as he had many speci- 

 mens of it, collected by myself at Belleville, Ont., over twenty years 

 ago. Indeed, the probabilities are that both G. Bella-villa and G. mirata 

 «qual G. livida, var. divergens, Bailey. 



(2689.) C. Alaskana, Boeckeler, Engler's Bot. Jahrb. VII., Pt. 

 IIL, 2TY, (1886.) 

 Alaska. (Krause.) Specimens referred by Arthur Bennett, P.L.S., 

 with doubt to this species, were gathered in damp woods on the left 

 bank of the Eed Deer Eiver, about a mile and a half above the mouth, 

 at the head of Lake Winnepegoosis, Man., 1881. (Macoun.) 



Addendum to Cyperaceffi.

 will likely be found along Lake Brie. Madawaska ; Dideguash, St. 

 Patrick, KB. (Fowler, Cat.)
