Collection notes
There were, to me, a bewildering array of laxiflorae/griseae/careyanae sedges in this broad site, frequently as scattered solitary individuals, so didn't get a handle on the different entities present. Ended up making six collections (3826 C.cumb; 3827 broadleaf; 3828 C.gris; 3830 C.dig; 3831 C.amphib; 3832 C.droopy), plus three other sedges (3825 C.brome; 3829 C.stell; 3833 C.willd). There were at least some C.laxiflora-type plants present, but I saw very few of them, and always as single individuals.
