Gmel. Fl. Sib. ». 1. p . 139. t. 30. / 1.
Culm a foot high, triquetrous, rough at the angles above, leafy helo*. Zeave, aeuminate, linear, as lone
as the cnha, or nearly so; rough a t the margin above. Bractea: leafy, .-unplectant a t the base, not at afl
sheathing, the maigin rough. Spikes generally 4, oblong or subclavate, all more or less stalked, especially,
the lon er one, erect, approximate. Scales closely imbricated, large, dark brown, rather glossy, nerve scarcely
paler, rough at the back, and running out into a long scabrous, rigid point, about as long as the capsiJe.
Capsule oval, or broadly eUiptical, compressed, with longitudinal striar, upon a conspicuous stallr, the mouth
forming a short entire beak. Stigmas 3. The male flowers occupy the lower part of tho terminal spike, and
some few of them are mixed with the upper.—The species is alUcd to C. alrata and C. Buxbaumii, but
IS truly distinct from both. We conceive the figirrc of Gmehn, above referred to, to be decidedly intended
for this plant; though no author appears to have noticed it.
