Of this, the leaves are slender, entirely radical, almost smooth, even at the margins, as is the slender, 
rounded, or obtusely angular stem. The male spike is terminal, on a long peduncle, which arises fi-om the 
same sheath as the female spike. Each is constantly solitary. Bractese of the female spike reddish-brown, 
with a broad pale-green nerve ,• those of the male all red-brown.

This exactly agrees with the S. purgans of Dr. Richardson, which, however, has the leaves hairy, as 
well as the florets and sheaths. In regard to the degree of hairiness, this species is probably liable to mucli 
valuation ; and the B. puhescens of Muhl., the B. Canadensis of Mich., and the B. ciliatus of Linn., may 
perhaps be only different states of one and the same species.

This is without fruit ; but is remarkable for the narrow spinuloso-dentate contorted leaves, with a very 
broad sheathing base.
