Abstract:

We review the systematics and provide a key for the Carex parryana complex (sect. Racemosae). Carex specuicola is recognized as a hanging gardens endemic, while a similar species, C. utahensis, is found in a diversity of wetlands in Utah and westernmost Colorado. We reinstate “C. aboriginum” of older literature as a good species with the new name of C. holmgreniorum. We confirm the distinctness of C. hallii, C. idahoa, and C. parryana and provide additional characters for distinguishing these taxa. The type of Carex hallii is reinterpreted to be consistent with the protologue. A lectotype is chosen for Carex idahoa.
