Notes: Many Russian authors have applied the name subsp. melanocarpa (or Luzula melanocarpa) for North Pacific plants. This is a misapplication according to Kirschner (in comment). We are not sure what these plants represent. One possibility is that they belong to a yet not recognized part of the range of subsp. fastigiata, another that there is an unrecognized race.
