Phylogenetic studies of Carex L.(Cyperaceae) have consistently demonstrated that most
subgenera and sections are para‐or polyphyletic. Yet, taxonomists continue to use …

The megadiverse genus Carex (c. 2000 species, Cyperaceae) has a nearly cosmopolitan
distribution, displaying an inverted latitudinal richness gradient with higher species diversity …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Relationships among closely related and recently diverged taxa
can be especially difficult to resolve. Here we use both Sanger sequencing and next …

We present the first large-scale phylogenetic hypothesis for the genus Carex based on 996
of the 1983 accepted species (50.23%). We used a supermatrix approach using three DNA …

Abstract Carex section Phacocystis (Cyperaceae) is one of the most diverse and
taxonomically complex groups of sedges (between 116 and 147 species), with a worldwide …

Despite previous efforts to unify the terminology for Cyperaceae, two different terms,
perigynium and utricle, are in common use for the prophyllar bract enclosing the female …

Species delimitation in Carex section Rhynchocystis has remained relatively constant
through its taxonomic history. The section is currently composed of five species distributed in …

We describe a new remarkable dwarf and apparently acaulescent species of Carex
(Cyperaceae) from the Andes of northern Chile: Carex phylloscirpoides. Morphological and …

Carex buekii is a highly adaptive species showing a fairly wide ecological spectrum. It
belongs to the group of river corridor plants which are vulnerable to any human activity …

We present relevant data about the taxonomy, nomenclature, and chorology of nine species
of the genus Carex from the Neotropics. We provide two new records for the South American …
