thick (This thickness of the thick rounded edges
makes it look unexpectedly clumpsy.
Culms to 18 in. [See 9-11-37]
8-19-37? Carex lenticularis Michx G 231, BvBF 422 F2.
with above (bank may have been "gravelly or sandy")
Acc to Goley p 209 this must fall in No. 66-71 and
with the long-overlapping bracts strongly suggests
ill. (G) (ill BvB not very helpful) though capicles are
relatively more slender (2-3mm wide) than ill
but agreeing well enough with deadie" 2.5-4mm". Culm
lvs not as long as culm (usually reach ± to base joint).
Lvs mate stls short v the bracts much overlapping
culms giving the clumps a very elfy appearance
when growing.
The other best guesses would be:
C. aquatilis Well where capicles are thicker v peucgynia
mirabilis (G) & BvB spicles 2-3(BvB).
or C. stricta Lam. whose bracts are evidently not con-
spicuously overlapping (see BvB. "sometimes equalling
the culm") Spec as collected offer no conclusive
evidence about "lvs at leasts prominently fibilline".
Culm slender, sharp angled, smooth except infl or
somewhat roughened just below infl.
R.B.R. now thinks she brought a culm like this (by chance)
from other side of river one day (not studied) and also
that the plant of 7-24-37? C. stricta may have been
this (comparison now inadequate but gives no proof
to the contrary.)
