Remarks[June 27. P. M. - Up Assebet. . . IN the Wheeler meadow, the bushy one southwest of Egg Rock, the coarse sedge 1 Woold Grass - I think the same with that in the Great Meadows - evidently grows in patches with a rounded outline; i.e., its edge is a succession of blunt rounded capes, with a very distinct outline amid the other kinds of grass and weeds." Journal 9: 461. 1857]
