In a sphagnous swamp near Utica. This species has also 

 been detected on the Rocky Mountains by Mr. Drummond ; 

 and at Hudson's Bay by Dr. Richardson. My specimens 

 agree in every respect with an European specimen of C. livida 

 in the herbarium of the late Rev. Mr. Schweinitz ; but I have 

 never, except in a single specimen, noticed the distant or sub- 

 radical peduncles, as in Schkuhr's figure. Wahlenberg, how- 

 ever, in his Flora Suecica, remarks that the disposition of the 

 pistillate spikes upon the culm is variable. — Whole plant glau- 

 cous. Culm 4 — 10 inches in height. Glumes of jhe pistillate 

 spike for the most part obtuse, but sometimes a little acute, 

 Flowers in June.
