  otherwise 
  the

   of 
  the

  is 
  mostly

  The

  the

  C.

  occurs

  northern 
  and

  Many 
  of 
  

   the

  the 
  European 
  Alps, 
  several 
  

   to 
  the

  of 
  India

  Japan, 
  while 
  only 
  a 
  few 
  

   are

  California,

  Of 
  the

  C. 
  hakkodensis 
  is 
  

   a 
  native 
  of 
  Japan, 
  the 
  two 
  others 
  of 
  Alaska 
  and 
  adjacent 
  

   islands. 
  "With 
  regard 
  to 
  the 
  desciscentes, 
  these 
  are 
  

   natives 
  of 
  central 
  and 
  eastern 
  Asia. 
  

  

  The 
  Stenocarpce 
  occupy 
  a 
  position 
  between 
  Athrochlce- 
  

   nce 
  and 
  Podogynce; 
  of 
  the 
  former 
  only 
  monostachyous 
  

   species 
  are 
  known 
  : 
  C. 
  pyrenaica 
  Wahlenb, 
  and 
  C. 
  nigri- 
  

   cans 
  C. 
  A. 
  Mey, 
  and 
  they 
  are 
  distinct 
  from 
  the 
  hebetates 
  

   of 
  the 
  Stenocarpce 
  by 
  the 
  perigynium 
  being 
  divaricate 
  

   or 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  reflexed 
  at 
  maturity, 
  and 
  prominently 
  

   stipitate. 
  Characteristic 
  of 
  the 
  Podogynce 
  is 
  the 
  spread- 
  

   ing 
  perigynium 
  borne 
  on 
  a 
  very 
  long, 
  ciliate 
  stipe.

  Although 
  well 
  defined 
  by 
  Dewey, 
  in 
  this 
  Journal 
  (vol. 
  

   29, 
  1836), 
  Carex 
  spectabilis 
  was 
  lost 
  for 
  quite 
  a 
  number 
  

   of 
  years; 
  3 
  it 
  was 
  distributed 
  by 
  Olney 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  

   G. 
  podocarpa 
  R. 
  Br. 
  (Gray 
  Herbarium) 
  ; 
  it 
  was 
  described 
  

   by 
  Professor 
  L. 
  H. 
  Bailey 
  as 
  a 
  new 
  species 
  : 
  C. 
  invisa 
  

   (1886), 
  and 
  placed 
  among 
  the 
  Acuta 
  Fries, 
  all 
  of 
  which 
  

   are 
  distigmatic 
  however; 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  time 
  it 
  was 
  re- 
  

   ferred 
  by 
  Professor 
  Bailey 
  to 
  C. 
  macrochceta 
  C. 
  A. 
  Mey. 
  

   as 
  a 
  mere 
  synonym; 
  furthermore 
  by 
  G. 
  Kukenthal 
  (in 
  

   litteris 
  April, 
  1902) 
  it 
  was 
  named 
  C. 
  macrochceta 
  var. 
  

   pseudopodocarpa 
  and 
  said 
  to 
  be 
  identical 
  with 
  the 
  distig- 
  

   matic 
  ( 
  !) 
  C. 
  invisa 
  Bail., 
  while 
  finally 
  in 
  "Das 
  Pflanzen- 
  

   reich" 
  (1909) 
  still 
  another 
  disposition 
  was 
  made 
  by 
  this 
  

   same 
  author, 
  referring 
  the 
  plant 
  to 
  C. 
  Tolmiei 
  Boott. 
  

   As 
  late 
  as 
  1895 
  the 
  species 
  was 
  identified 
  at
