"Habitat in Europa septentrionali." RCN: 7070. Lectotype (Toivonen in Ann. Bot. Fenn. 18: 94, f. 1. 1981): [icon] " Gramen cyperoides spicis curtis divulsis " in Loesel, Fl. Prussica: 117, t. 32. 1703 (see p. 140). Current name: Carex canescens L. ( Cyperaceae ). Note: Marshall (in J. Bot. 45: 365. 1907) proposed the abandonment of this name because of difficulties in establishing its application. Although some authors took up C. buxbaumii Wahlenb. in its place, most recent authors (e.g. Luceno in Ruizia 14: 50. 1994; Egorova, Sedges Russia : 558. 1999) appear to have adopted Toivonen's typification and are using the Linnaean name in the sense of C. curta Good.
