The examination of Muhlenberg's herbarium prov^es this spe- 
cies to be the original C. verrucosa of that author. This name, 
being the oldest, should, in strictness, be retained ; but inas- 
much as the fruit is not in the slightest degree verrucose, this 
name would lead to error, while that of Elliott is remarkably 
appropriate. 3Iuch confusion has also been caused by the 
name verrucosa having been subsequently applied to another 
species. We have therefore concluded not to restore the 
original appellation of 3Iuhlenberg to the present plant. 
C. verrucosa of Schiveinitz, of the monograph of N. American 
Carices, and of Dewey's Caricography, is a variety of C. acuta 
collected by Schweinitz in North Carolina. We know not 
what species Elliott has included under this name.
