388 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OP CANADA. 



Var. (?) aurea, Bailey, Mem. Terr. Bot. Club, I., ST. 



" Taller and mostly stouter than the species ; staminate spikes two to 

 three, mostly long-peduncled ; pistillate spikes one or two, the upper 

 sessile, the lower short-peduncled, often staminate at the apex, yellow 

 or stramineous ; perigynium thin and yellow as in G. monile, mostly 

 prominently few-nerved, gradually produced into a conspicuous and 

 more or less toothed beak, broader and usually longer than the light 

 brown or whitish muticous scale." Kennebeckasis, N.B. {Prof. Fowler, 

 fide Bailey.) 



(26'75.) C. physocarpa, Presl. ; Macoun, Cat. IV., 169. 



Sparingly along Spallumsheen Arm, at Sicamous, B.C., July, 1889. 

 {Macmin.') 



(2679.) C. utriculata, Boott; Hook. Fl. II., 221. (1840.) 



References under 0. rostrata, With., and its variety utriculata, Bailey, 

 Part IV., 170, 1*71, belong here. Specimens referred here were 

 collected in an immature state at Agassiz, B.C., May, 1889. (Macoun.) 



(3200.) C. exsiccata, Bailey, Mem. Torr. Bot. Club, I. 6. 



C. vesicaria var. major, Boott ; Macoun, Cat. IV., 171, in part. 



" Differs at once from C. vesicaria by its greater size and broader 

 leaves, thicker and more nearly sessile spikes, and particularly by the 

 much longer, lance-ovate, scarcely inflated, duller and strongly nerved 

 perigynium, which is three or four times longer than the very narrow 

 and muticous scale. In some of its forms it strongly suggests G. 

 trichocarpa, Muhl., var. aristata, Bailey." Wet marshy places, near 

 Victoria, Vancouver Island, 1885. {Fletcher.) Common and variable 

 everywhere on Vancouver Island, 1 881 ; on the mainland of British 

 Columbia, from the coast to the Gold Eange. {Macoun.) 



Var. globosa, Bailey, Mem. Torr., Bot. Club, I., 1. 



C. vemarkb var. major, Macoun, Cat. IV., 171, in part. 



" More slender than the species, the leaves narrow (J in. or less 

 wide) ; spikes small (an inch or less long), more or less scattei-ed, 

 closely sessile, rusty in color; perigynium narrower, conspicuously 

 spreading; scale hyaline and very small." Home Lake, near Mount 

 Mark, Vancouver Island. 188*7. {Macoun.)
