Gmel. FI. Sib. v. 1. p. 139. t. 30. / 1. 
Cidm a foot high, triquetrous, rough at the angles above, leafy below. Leaves acuminate, linear, as long 
as the culm, or nearly so, rough at the margin above. Bractece leafy, amplectaut at the base, not at all 
sheathing, the margin rough. Spikes generally 4, oblong or subclavate, all more or less stalked, especially 
the lower one, erect, approximate. Scales closely imbricated, large, dark brown, rather glossy, nerve scarcely 
paler, rough at the back, and running out into a long scabrous, rigid point, about as long as the capsule. 
Capsule oval, or broadly elliptical, compressed, with longitudinal striae, upon a conspicuous stall?, the mouth 
forming a short entire beak. Stigmas 3. The male flowers occupy the lower part of the terminal spike, and 
some few of them are mixed with the upper. — The species is allied to C. atrata and C. Buxbaumii, but 
is truly distinct from both. We conceive the figiu’e of Gmelin, above referred to, to be decidedly intended 
for this plant ; though no author appears to have noticed it.
