NOTES ON- CAREX FLAVA AND ITS ALLIES IV-GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION*
Detailed information about the world distribution of the C. flava aggregate is rather fragmentary. However, in spite of the group being represented in both hemispheres, as a whole it seems to have circumboreal tendencies and the members were described by M. Raymond in 1951 as amphi-atlantic species....
