Taxon discussion
This species belongs to sect.
Carex Uncinia
(see
C. ecuadorensis
), which remarkably includes three of the four Ecuadorian endemic
Carex
species (Fig.
1
B,b,C,c).
Carex madida
was reported as vulnerable (VU) in the Ecuadorian Red List (as
Uncinia lacustris
), based on the known existence of only three localities, all in protected areas (Cayambe-Coca, Cotacachi-Cayapas and Cotopaxi National Parks) in the provinces of Pichincha, Napo and Imbabura, respectively. Here, we report its presence in two additional provinces (Carchi and Chimborazo) and one addition to a protected area (Reserva
Ecologica
El
Angel
). We confirm its persistence in two of the formerly known localities, where it seems abundant. Since the plants occur in
Espeletia
formations very close to the Colombian border, it is very likely that this species also occurs in the neighbouring country, from which it has not been reported yet.
