Abstract
The distribution of <em>Carex buxbaumii</em> Wahlenb. in Poland is described, based on herbarium materials. The list of localities with brief description of its taxonomic characteristics, habitat and general distribution have also been included.
Highlights
The reports published hitherto on Carex buxbaumii in Poland have been rather scarce and concerned mainly the localities in Lubelski region (Fija3kowski, Chojnacka-Fija3kowska 1990) near Lake Miedwie (Jasnowski 1962; Bacieczko 1996) and in the Wigierski National Park (Jutrzenka-Trzebiatowski et al 2001), specifying the locality and sometimes habitat conditions
In the Atlas of vascular plants distribution in Poland (Zaj1c and Zaj1c 2001), a complex map of C. buxbaumii aggregate was given as this species is often mistaken for C. hartmanii
The most complete taxonomic distribution with the features characterising exclusively C. buxbaumii was given by Egorova (1999)
Summary
The reports published hitherto on Carex buxbaumii in Poland have been rather scarce and concerned mainly the localities in Lubelski region (Fija3kowski, Chojnacka-Fija3kowska 1990) near Lake Miedwie (Jasnowski 1962; Bacieczko 1996) and in the Wigierski National Park (Jutrzenka-Trzebiatowski et al 2001), specifying the locality and sometimes habitat conditions. The distribution of C. buxbaumii in Poland has not been fully recognized yet. In the Atlas of vascular plants distribution in Poland (Zaj1c and Zaj1c 2001), a complex map of C. buxbaumii aggregate was given as this species is often mistaken for C. hartmanii. These sedges are of similar shape and similar habitat demands. The most complete taxonomic distribution with the features characterising exclusively C. buxbaumii was given by Egorova (1999). In view of the above, the aim of the undertaken study was to present the actual distribution of this species in Poland on the basis of herbarial materials.
