 ence of an earnest worker, has a carex named in his 

 honor, and I recall the pleasure it gave me to collect 

 the modest little plant in a low meadow a few sum- 

 mers ago. My interest was much ificreased from hav- 

 ing had the privilege of meeting Mrs. James, her hus- 

 band's able assistant, at the American Association for
