ii 4 THE CAYUGA FLORA. 



Woods and at Taughannock. Spikes compound (proliferous from 

 lower perigynia) at Taughannock, (F. I'. Coville. l! 



Iioo. C. tetanica, Schk. 



Moist woods and ravines ; infrequent. June. 



Case. Woods. Green-Tree Falls. Freeville, near Fir Swamp, 

 Danby. Round Marsh. Near Woods Sta. , "with Jeffiersonia, Junius. 

 Lowery's Pond. "Junius," (Sartwell C. U. Herb.) 



iioi. C. granulans, Muhl. (H. and C.) 



Grassy meadows and wet places ; common. June 10-20. 



Very variable. A broad-leaved form suggests G. glaucodea. The 



" var. recta" Dew., with smaller ovate perigynia is the most abund- 



dant. Specimens from Case. Woods show an androgynous upper 



spike. It is the most abundant sedge on the rich farms of Venice. 



1 102. C. pallescens, D. (H. and C.) 

 In pastures of cold clay soil ; not common. June 15 July. 



The C. undulata form, [Kunic, tab. 4, f. 2.) occurs near Mallory- 

 ville and Turkey Hill. The Malloryville specimens also had cylin- 

 drical proliferous pistillate spikes, and peduncle of staminate spike 

 2-3 cm. long. 



1 103. C. grisea, Wahl. (Dr. Wright in C.) 

 Rich shaded soil ; scarce. June. 



Case, ravine, (O. £. Pearce.) Fall Cr., a few. South Hill Marsh. 

 Near Fall Cr., at Freeville. Along Marl Cr. 



1104. C. glaucodea, Tuck. (Proc. Amer. Acad. VII. p. 395. -1865.) 

 Rare ; South Hill, with Adromeda, 1882. (F. C. Curtice.) June 



15-30. 



Also about South Hill Marsh. 



"Spikes 4-5, cylindrical; terminal staminate, subsessile, clavate ; 

 the others pistillate, leafy-bracted, many-flowered, upper approxi- 

 mate, peduncles exserted, lower distantly remote, all with the leaves 

 pale or glaucous-green. Perigynia ovoid-turgid, obtuse, orifice sub- 

 entire, many-nerved, i / 5^ // long. Scales broad-ovate, short-cuspi- 

 date, whitish, barely 3-nerved and green to the middle, Akenes ob- 

 ovate, triqueterous." Plants usually spreading or ascending 6 / -i2 / 

 high, smooth. Leaves 2]/ 2 " -\" wide, shorter than culm, very glau- 

 cous. Perigynia more dense than in C- grisea, fewer-nerved, point- 

 less, its scale shorter and less pointed. Occurs sparingly from Mass. 

 to Del. In N. Y. reported only from Dutchess Co. In habit, tex- 

 ture, character of scales and color it seems quite distinct from C. 

 grisea. 



[C. conoidea, Schk. from Penn Yan, Sartwell, Herb. Cornell U.; also 

 in Cat.] 



1 105. C. gracillima, Schw. (H. and C.) 

 Woods ; abundant. June. 



Malloryville specimens exhibit proliferous branches to spikes ; 

 and occasionally specimens exhibit smaller, sharper perigynia than 

 usual.
