Flora of New York/Cyperaceae 2

Cyperaceae 2: Carex Cyperaceae 1 Cyperaceae 3 New York Carex Species Index ⇗ New York Carex cladogram ⇗ Carex The genus Carex is represented by more than 200 species in New York. Of these, all but about a dozen species are native to New York State.Weldy, Troy, David Werier, and Andrew Nelson. 2013 New York Flora Atlas. (S. M. Landry and K. N. Campbell, original application development, Florida Center for Community Design and Research. University of South Florida). New York Flora Association, Albany, New York. Of the non-native taxa, the two species of Asiatic sand sedge, included here in [[#Subg. Vignea > sect. Macrocephalae Carex sect. Macrocephalae]], are considered to be potentially invasive.The New York Invasive Species Clearinghouse, Cornell cooperative extension invasive species program. Only one of these, Carex kobomugi, has been reported in New York (a single population in 2013), but both have been reported in nearby states. Here, the genus was previously organized by sections, using the modified version of Kenneth Kent Mackenzie’s system used in the Flora of North America (FNA).Flora of North America, Vol. 23: 26. CarexPeter W. Ball, A. A. Reznicek, Flora of North America Editorial Committee, eds. 1993+. Flora of North America North of Mexico. Vol. 23: 26 Carex. New York and Oxford. Accessed 1/21/2024 This page was later re-organized somewhat based on the intermediate framework recommended by the Global Carex Group (GCG)(2021). Where practicable, the traditional (FNA) sections were left intact within any larger clades into which their members were placed by GCG.

Of the 27 or so species in the resulting clade, only Carex leptalea is native to North America. The rest are Asian or Australasian species.

Contains traditional sections Phaestoglochin (15/38), Vulpinae (2/13), and Echinochloomorphae (1/1). Consists primarily of Eastern Hemisphere species of traditional sect. Phaestoglochin, characterized by short rhizomes, inflorescences spicate (rarely distally branched), spikes androgynous, and perigynia wingless. The Global Carex Group moved the New York sedges of traditional sect. Phaestoglochin into the three separate clades, leaving the non-native C. spicata as the only member reported in New York. The other members of this traditional section were moved to the Annectens Clade (V.E.2) and Rosea Clade (V.G.5). The traditional Carex section Phaestoglochin contained about 38 species worldwide, 25 of which are found in North America North of Mexico. Sedges of traditional section Phaestoglochin were characterized as upland species with compressed, sharp-edged oval perigynia, with male flowers appearing at the top of the spikelets.Phaestoglochin Peter W.
