[C. glaucoidea Tuckerm G 244; B1/3I 406
See 6-34-38
6-16-38 Carex
Adv. for. Near the Lolium. Tufted (no stolons) with
many culms & many sterile shoots. Glaucoea
smooth to touch.
? glabrous. I saw sterile shoots 10 mm wide, or at to
6mm wide. 2 rufae bracts over top culm about
1 in. (over 2 in). Bracts leaf-like w/with long green
sheathes. ? Spike about 15mm long, pale, short peduncle
(But hardly visible), projecting slightly i.e. to about half
its own length) or not at all beyond ruppermost ?
apike. ? spikes 3-4; uppermost sessile v almost
so the rest on slender peduncles, the lowest
often excutated
half-way down the culm or very slender,
long peduncle. ? spikes now green, usually
2 cm long (also short 1cm., largest 2.5 cm) x about
4 mm thick, cylindrica & closely fld. Perigynia
3mm x 1.8mm w/with a few distinct ribs (which
R.B.K. would call depressed?), plump v loose on
achene. Beaks minute, bent as in Goill of C. laxi-
flora #242) but achene not now tapered to
base. Scales thin, white, the green midnervs
projecting beyond acuminate tip but not at
all roughened. No desc. in G. alena to fit now.
When I rere consider C. laxiflora again. If
not that say #131-135.
