| Carex lidii Hadac | |
| Publ. & Syn. | Hadac, Skr. Svalbard Nordishavet 87: 24 (1944). Holotype (O): Svalbard: "Vindodden, sub mte. Belvedere", 09. Aug. 1939, leg. E. Hadac. |
| Notes | Carex lidii is known from several localities on Spitsbergen and Edgeøya in Svalbard and from eastern Greenland. It has been assumed to be the hybrid C. maritima x parallela. Øvstedal and Haaland (1996) threw doubts on that hypothesis. We therefore provisionally accept it as a species until its origin is clarified. Both Engelskjøn (in comment) and Elven still consider the C. maritima x parallela hypothesis as the most probable. Carex lidii occurs in populations but perhaps of a clonal origin. Fruit maturation has not been observed. |
