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.)
