588 85. CYPERACEA. 
sometimes mistaken for true gracile. The opposite state, that of 
vigorous or luxuriant growth, is given as a further variety in 
English Botany, under name of elatius. The name of polystachion, 
as used in the English Flora, may be said to mean the variety 
elatius ; that of gracile being used there for minus. 
Carex Davalliana, Sm. 
Province 1. Lansdown, Bath; lost there “ by drainage.” 
Extinct. Cyb. iii. 87. (York. Hadd. Edin. Kinc.] 
Carea (ovalis) bracteata, E. B. 3. 
Provinces -- 3-5. Surrey! Worcester. 
Syn. 1211. Cyb. iii. 96. C. ovalis, b. argyroglochin, L. C. exc. 
The true C. argyrolochin is distinguished essentially by its pale 
and silvery glumes, not by foliaceous bracts, which are present or 
absent in either. 
Carex (elongata) Gebhardi, Schkuhr. 
Provinces... ? ‘ Professor Babington includes it in his Manual, 
but gives no station for it, and I have seen no British specimens”; 
Eng. bot. x. 100. 
Carex (remota) tenella, Sm. (not Schkuhr.) 
Province - 15. Forfar; G. Don. Hants; Boswell Syme? 
Syn. 1214. Cyb. ii. 98. Eng. bot. x. 96. 
Carex brygoides, Linn. 
Province - 10. Studley Wood, Yorkshire; Bab. man. ed. 8 to 6. 
Error? Cyb, ii. 94. If really found, probably planted; E. B. 
Carex (muricata) pseudo-divulsa, E. B. 3. 
Provinces 1-8. Somerset. Kent. Surrey. 
Syn. 1220. OC. virens, Lam., not of Reichenbach; E. B. 
Carex (teretiuscula) Ehrhartiana, Hoppe. 
Province - 9. Manchester. North Hants? Surrey? 
Syn. 1228. Oyb. iii, 107. Near Basingstoke, Hants, and on 
Wimbledon Common, Surrey, I have seen sedges which I hesitated 
to name teretiuscula only because their stems were several together 
in loose tufts; and thus approximating to the present variety, if 
not absolutely identical. 
Carex ustulata, Wahl. 
Province - 15. Perth and Forfar; G. Don, sole authority. 
Error? Oyb. iii. 129. Eng. bot. x. 187. 
Carex (vulgaris) uliginosa, i. B. 3. 
Province -- 8. And-elsewhere? “In muddy places.” 
Syn. 1228. By the character “densely cespitose” in Eng. Bot. 
ed. 8, I suppose this to be the same with a form which I dis- 
tributed from North Surrey, in 1846, labelled as “vulgaris, var. 
juncea.” It was found growing in dense tufts in swampy rather 
than muddy ground.
