There are in the collection three no. 's of a Carex-species from 

 Pamir, which I refer to the above quoted variety of C. vesicaria. The 

 plants are 50 — 75 cm high, consequently taller than the Scandinavian 

 var. alpigena, and also coarser and more broad-leaved; but the shining, 

 chestnut-brown utricle with the comparatively short, faintly bifid beak 

 agrees well with the type of the variety. 



On the other hand our specimens belong without doubt to the same 

 form which Mrs. 0. Fedtschenko has described as var. pamirica. G. 

 B. Clarke had named it "C. utriculata Boott".

The specimens (see Fig. 4) represent an alpine form (var. pamirica Ostf. 

 n. var.) of the C. songorica. The utricles are shining, darkly red-brown in 

 the upper part, obsoletely nerved and not so abruptly attenuated into the 

 bifid beak as in the main form. Culms erect, 35 — 40 cm high. 



By C. B. Clarke the specimens had been named 11 C. nutans Host.".
