ON THE GEOLOGY AND NATURAL HISTORY 
LIST OF NEBRASKA CARICES. 
BY PROF. CHESTER DEWEY. 
C. vulpina , Linn. A well-known European species, first found in Ohio in our country 
some years since, abounds in Nebraska of large size : cannot be confounded with 
C. stipata, above Fort Pierre. 
C. vulpinoidea , Michx. 
C. multiflora , Michx. Fort Pierre. 
C. stipata , Muhl. Little Sioux Fiver. 
C. rosea , Schk. Southern Nebraska. 
var. radiata , Dew. Southern Nebraska. 
C. setacea , Dew. Southern Nebraska. 
G. teretiuscula, Good. Southern Nebraska. 
C. Muhlenbergi, Schk. Missouri, below Fort Pierre. 
C. cephaloidea , Dew. Near Fort Leavenworth. 
C. Hookeriana, Dew. Missouri, below Fort Pierre. 
G. stenophylla, Wahl. Upper Missouri. Well known in the Tyrol; found also in the 
Pocky Mountains, and in Nebraska, Dr. Hayden. First published as American also 
by Dr. Boott. 
C. Douylasi , Boott. West of Fort Pierre. From N. AY. Coast and Rocky Mountains, 
first described by Dr. Boott; since found so far south, like C. Richardsoni in its wide 
diffusion. 
G. Nuttalli , Dew. Yellowstone river. This species, found by Mr. Nuttall in his 
botanic explorations on the Pocky Mountains, had escaped my memory, and I gave 
to the specimens from Nebraska the name of my young friend, Mr. Meek, in Silli- 
man’s Journal. Its spikes are closely aggregated into a head; its fruit small, ovate 
and short-lanceolate, and much shorter and narrower than the broad long-lanceolate 
scale; culm 3 to I inches high, with almost setaceous leaves. These characters 
separate it from the next preceding species. 
C. marcida , Boott. Abundant over Southern Nebraska. 
G. cristata , Schw. Little Sioux river. 
G. straminea , Willd. Above Fort Pierre, 
var. minor , Dew. Above Fort Pierre. 
G. scirpoides , Schk. Near Fort Leavenworth. 
G. mirabilis , Dew. Common.
