Dewey BvBI 372. In woods at end of path to upper pool.
7-24-37 ?Carex vesicaria L. G 205; BvBI 438 Dump
Pool almost at end of path to upper pool. Ident questioned
only because not listed from Mfld. Shape & perigynia, its
length (fully 7 mm) vs wild (5-6 mm) all are against
the poss. ? var. monile. W.B. Upper spikes often ♂

at end of path to upper Dump Pool vales about
half way along path. (See 8-20-30 which prof was
the same.) ♀ spikes dropping; perigynia inflated.
If sheaths rough hairy would seem to establish
identity. But leaves & flo abruptly awned (BvBI)
Note also sheath with a deep inward fold on one edge
very like Goill # 560 p. 206 (?) C.Tueckermani).
Culms longer (often much longer than bro) but over
topped by the lfy bracts. Some culms bear no ♂
spikes but bear a few ♂ float tips & ♀ spikes.
Other culms bear 2 ♂ spikes (in one instance
a ♂ spikeless has a few ♀ float base. [W.B. 8-21-37 Not
all sheaths show the "inward fold" mentioned above]
