CYPE'RrS DI4NDR1JS. The plant (Fig. 256) i3 from 4 to 10 inches in height. The culm is triangular, leafy towards the base, but nalced above. At the summit there is an umbel the rays of which are unequal in length, and on each ray are clustered several flat brown - colour- ed spikes, the scales which are imbricated in two distinct rows. At the base of the umbel there are 3 leaves of very un- equal length, forming a sort of involucre, and the base of each ray of the umbel is sheathe d. In each spike every scale ex- cept the lowest one con- tains a flower in its axil. The flower (Figs. 257 and 258) is entirely destitute of perianth, and consists of 2 stamens and an ovary sur- mounted by a 2-deft style, being consequently perfect. The plant is pretty easily met with in low wet Fig. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Spotton, H.
