Carex leersii

[Jacob Koopman]

Hello, I saw my name coming by, in a former discussion about a Carex in India, which was supposed to be C. leersii; previously it had been called C. echinata in that post. To my opinion it is not either one of these two species. I think, based on what I can see in the photos, it is C. muricata subsp. ashokae. This subspecies has recently been described by the Spanish botanist Ana Molina Gonzalez (2008). This subspecies has the typical short and dark brown female glumes of C. muricata, but the utricles are more tapering, like in C. spicata and in C. leersii. So, with a rounded ligule it holds the middle of C. muricata and C. leersii. It is known from Kashmir. Best wishes, Jacob Koopman, Choszczno, Poland.
