editCarex subg. Euthyceras
editSubg. Euthyceras > Rara Clade >> sect. Leptocephalae
editThe traditional Carex section Leptocephalae contains the single species Carex leptalea which is found in North America and the Caribbean Basin.[2] iNaturalist currently treats the Rara Clade as Complex Carex leptalea (Carex Rara Clade).[3]

Subg. Euthyceras > Capitata Clade
editThe traditional (FNA) Carex section Capituligerae contains about six species worldwide, with Carex arctogena and Carex capitata found in North America.[1] The traditional (FNA) Carex section Leucoglochin contains about five species worldwide, with Carex microglochin and Carex pauciflora found in North America.[2] The Global Carex Group (2021) placed Carex microglochin with sect. Capituligerae and a few other species in subg. Euthyceras clade Capitata (III.B.3)[3] iNaturalist currently treats subg. Euthyceras clade Capitata (III.B.2) as Complex Carex capitata (Carex capitata Clade).[4] None of the sedges in this clade have been reported in New York, but a few have been reported from New England and eastern Canada. They are included here as placeholder representatives of the calde.

Subg. Euthyceras > Pauciflora Clade >> sect. Leucoglochin
editThe traditional Carex section Leucoglochin contains about five species worldwide, with Carex microglochin and Carex pauciflora found in North America.[1] III.B.3. Pauciflora Clade contains Carex pauciflora (the type species of sect. Leucoglochin). The other North American sedge from this section (C. microglochin) was placed in III.B.2. Capitata Clade above.[2] iNaturalist currently treats subg. Euthyceras clade Pauciflora (III.B.3) as Complex Carex pauciflora (Carex Pauciflora Clade).[3]

Carex subg. Vignea
editV. Carex subg. Vignea (P.Beauv. ex T.Lestib.) Heer, Mitth. in Geb. Theor. Erdk. 1: 426. 1836.
Most of the sedges of subgenus Vignea have dense spike-like inflorescences with sessile bisexual spikes. Their flowers are almost always distigmatic.[1] |
Subg. Vignea > Echinata Clade >> sect. Stellulatae
editThe traditional Carex (FNA) section Stellulatae contains about 15 taxa worldwide, eight of which are found in North America.[2] Sedges in section Stellulatae are found in wetlands and have flattened, beaked perigynia with sharp edges that often point outward at maturity, creating star-like pattern.[3] iNaturalist places this group in Complex Carex elongata (Carex Echinata Clade) as of 2/12/2024.

Subg. Vignea > sect. Phaestoglochin
editContains traditional sections Phaestoglochin (15/38), Vulpinae (2/13), and Echinochloomorphae (1/1). Consists primarily of Eastern Hemisphere species of traditional sect. Phaestoglochin, characterized by short rhizomes, inflorescences spicate (rarely distally branched), spikes androgynous, and perigynia wingless. The Global Carex Group moved the New York sedges of traditional sect. Phaestoglochin into the three separate clades, leaving the non-native C. spicata as the only member reported in New York. The other members of this traditional section were moved to the Annectens Clade (V.E.2) and Rosea Clade (V.G.5). [1] The traditional Carex section Phaestoglochin contained about 38 species worldwide, 25 of which are found in North America North of Mexico. Sedges of traditional section Phaestoglochin were characterized as upland species with compressed, sharp-edged oval perigynia, with male flowers appearing at the top of the spikelets.[2]

POWO (2023) treats Carex gynocrates Wormsk. ex Drejer as a synonym of Carex nardina (Hornem.) Fr.[3] (which is in subg.

Subg. Vignea > Rosea Clade
editThe Global Carex Group (2021) divided the New York sedges of sect. Phaestoglochin into the three separate clades within subg. Vignea. The five eastern North American species C. appalachica, C. radiata, C. retroflexa, C. rosea, C. texensis were placed in Rosea Clade (V.G.5). The remainder were placed in sect. Phaestoglochin (V.E.1) and Annectens Clade (V.E.2). [1] The traditional Carex section Phaestoglochin contains about 27 (38) species worldwide, 25 of which are found in North America North of Mexico.[2][3] Sedges of section Phaestoglochin are upland species with compressed, sharp-edged oval perigynia. Male flowers appear at the top of the spikelets.

Most of the species of the three nested traditional sections Bicolores (4/4), Paniceae s.s. (24/26), and Laxiflorae (17/17) were combined into a larger sect. Paniceae. Although sect. Bicolores has been found to be monophyletic, it is nested in sect. Paniceae s.s., which is nested in sect. Laxiflorae.[1] |
Subg. Carex > sect. Paniceae >> sect. Bicolores
editThe traditional (FNA) Carex section Bicolores contains 4 species worldwide, all of which (C. aurea, C. bicolor, C. garberi, C. hassei) are found in North America, but only C. aurea and C. garberi are found in New York.[2] Traditional sect. Bicolores contains two species that are found in New York State. The parigynia of C. aurea (golden-fruited sedge) are nearly spherical and turn bright orange when mature, while the those of the endangered C. garberi (elk sedge) turn glaucous white with age.[3]

Subg. Carex > sect. Griseae
editVI.N.3. Carex sect. Griseae (L.H.Bailey) Kük., in H.G.A.Engler, Pflanzenr. 20[IV,38]: 516. 1909.
Contains the traditional sections Granulares (6/6), Griseae (21/21), and Careyanae (8/12) because these sections were said to be phylogenetically entangled and morphologically very similar. All members of the expanded sect. Griseae share lateral spikes in which the perigynia have a face (instead of an angle) opposite to the axis of the spike, chlorenchyma with scattered pigment cells, and perigynia with many nerves (40–60 in most species). |

Hymenochlaenae contains 20 North American Carex species.[2] Of these, only the southeastern Carex cherokeensis and endemic Californian Carex obispoensis remain in the newly delineated sect. Hymenochlaenae. Most of the rest are now in the Castanea Clade above. A single casual observation of cultivated and labeled Carex cherokeensis (Cherokee Sedge) at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, New York in 2023 has been posted to iNaturalist[3] The nearest research-grade iNaturalist observation appears to be in Kentucky.[4]

Acrocystis used here are based on Roalson & Friar (2004).[5] This section contains some of the smallest sedges in the Northeast.[6] D.B. Poindexter (2019) recommended replacing the Carex section name Acrocystis Dumort. (1827) with Sphaeridiophorae Drejer ex L.H.Bailey (1885), using Carex pensylvanica Lam. (1792) as its lectotype instead of Carex montana L. (1755), which was also the lectotype of sect. Montanae (Carey) Christ (1885). Carex montana was explicitly excluded from Poindexter's treatment of sect. Sphaeridiophorae.[7]
