Notes: Kirschner: Luzula divaricata S. Watson is a distinct endemic of the mountains of central California and western Nevada. Hultén's application of this name for southern Alaskan plants was erroneous.

Elven: Hultén (1968a) mapped subsp. fastigiata (as subsp. divaricata) as non-arctic in southern Alaska but it has later been found to reach the Arctic in the Goodnews Bay area in southwestern Alaska (ALA).
