We consider dissipative strongly competitive systems $\dot{ x}_{ i}=x_{ i}f_{ i}(x)$ of ordinary differential equations. It is known that for a wide class of such systems there exists an invariant attracting hypersurface $\Sigma$, called the carrying simplex. In this note we give an amenable condition for $\Sigma$ to be a $C^{ 1}$ submanifold-with-corners. We also provide conditions, based on a recent work of M. Bena\"{ \i}m "On invariant hypersurfaces of strongly monotone maps", J. Differential Equations 137 (1997), 302-319, guaranteeing that $\Sigma$ is of class $C^{ k+1}$.
