four miles south of Cahersiveen. In the field C. punctata 
may be readily distinguished from C. distans by its spreading 
fruit which is a very constant character in the Kerry plant, 
the fruit of C. distans being always more or less ascending ; 
this patent characteristic of the fruit was also noticed by 
its finder, D. Oliver. In Great Britain this sedge is found 
in several localities along the west side of England, Wales 
and the south-west corner of Scotland, with an outlying 
station in Suffolk ; on the Continent it occurs in Norway, 
France, Italy, &c., but is only doubtfully reported from the 
Spanish peninsula.
