3309016 Carex laxa Wahlenb.
Distribution
Anabar - Onenyo: Rare
Northern Alaska - Yukon: Presence uncertain
Shrub Tundra: Rare
Bordering boreal or alpine areas: Frequent
Geography: European (N) - Asian (N) - amphi-Beringian: SIB CAN?
Notes: Ball and Elven: Egorova (1999) assigned Carex aurea to sect. Paniceae, C. garberi to sect. Phacocystis, and C. bicolor to sect. Bicolores. These three species are rather similar and together constitute the core of the quite distinctive and predominantly North American sect. Bicolores. A molecular study based on ITS sequences (Hendrichs et al. 2004) closely joined C. aurea and C. bicolor but within a main cluster together with species of sect. Paniceae.
