Comments
This map is a composite that contains records for Carex flaccosperma, C. glaucodea, and C. pigra, which were lumped under a broader concept of C. flaccosperma in earlier, hard-copy editions of the Atlas. Extensive herbarium studies are needed to map the three taxa in this complex accurately and completely. See also Comments on the pages for Carex glaucodea & C. pigra.
