 During systematic field research of genus Carex in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the period of 2014-2018. two species from sect. Spirostachyae Drejer ex L. H. Bailey have been recorded for the first time in the flora of the country: Carex extensa Gooden. and Carex punctata Gaudin. While C. punctata is a quite common species growing in damp and wet habitat types over serpentine substrates in Central Bosnia, C. extensa is recorded as very rare along the Adriatic Sea coast on Klek Peninsula (southern Bosnia and Herzegovina), and recognized as critically endangered (CR) in the country.
