Abstract

Carex evadens sp. nov., a scarce species known from the Mexican state of Queretaro, is described. It is related to C. fructus Reznicek and to C. distentiformis F. J. Herm., differing from the first mainly in having wider perigynia and achenes and from the second in the simple lower spikes and pale green, not reddish brown perigynia. A key to separate these species is given.
