 Carex aestivalis M. A. Curtis. Sedge 



■Moist wooded banks and shaded rocky slopes. 

 Frequent. The species of Carex are indiscriminately 

 known as "sedges" and no attempt is made here 

 to give each one a distinctive common name, al- 

 though such names may be found in Britton & 

 Brown's Illustrated Flora. The species of Carex 

 collected in and about the Allegany State Park area 

 have been identified by K. K. Mackenzie, and those 

 names have been retained in this list, with the 

 names as given in the seventh edition of Gray's 

 manual added wherever possible.

 ratt) Fernald.

 want valley near Limestone. Rare.
