Notes: The name Carex lachenalii has been conserved over C. tripartita but not over C. bipartita (Turland 1997b). Turland (1997b) rejected C. bipartita All., stating that its type belongs to Kobresia simpliciuscula. However, it may still be confirmed as the priority name for this species, see the comments of Toivonen (2002: 315).
