Abstract

The distribution of <em>Carex hartmanii</em> Cajander in Poland is described based on herbarium materials and supplemented by literature information and unpublished data. The brief description of its taxonomic characteristics, habitat and general distribution is also included.

Highlights

  • Some closely related species have enough similar forms and habitat requirements that are often wrongly identified

  • Basing on the carried out verification of herbarium sheets, it was found that Carex hartmanii was frequently identified as C. buxbaumii, whereas only occasionally happened that C. buxbaumii was identified as C. hartmanii

  • In order to present a more precise picture of the distribution of C. hartmanii in Poland, it was resolved on taking into consideration the herbarium materials and those from own studies, and published and unpublished localities, with respective data being presented on the distribution map by different symbols

Summary

Introduction

Some closely related species have enough similar forms and habitat requirements that are often wrongly identified. To which this problem refers, are Carex hartmanii and C. buxbaumii Both sedges are included in the “Distribution Atlas of Vascular Plants in Poland” (Zaj1c and Zaj1c (eds) 2001) in the form of Carex buxbaumii aggregate. The distribution of these plants on the territory of Germany is presented in the form of a common map, apart from their separate cartograms (Benkert 1998). In this connection, it was well-founded to take up a research on the occurrence of these species in Poland. Basing on the results of carried out study, a distribution map of Carex buxbaumii in Poland was published (Sotek 2006a) and the occurrence of both sedges in the region of Northern Poland was presented (Sotek 2006b)
