editCarex subg. Euthyceras
editSubg. Euthyceras > Rara Clade >> sect. Leptocephalae
editIII.B.1. Rara Clade contains traditional sections Rarae (23/23), Rhizopodae (3/3), Leptocephalae (1/1). Of the 27 or so species in the resulting clade, only Carex leptalea is native to North America. The rest are Asian or Australasian species.[1]
The 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
editIII.B.2. Capitata Clade contains all or parts of traditional sections Capituligerae (6/6), Leucoglochin (1/5), Petraeae (2/3), Nardinae (1/1), Obtusatae (1/1).
The 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.

The 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.

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
editV.C.1. Echinata Clade contains the traditional section Stellulatae (11/11) along with Eurasian species C. elongata and C. foetida.[1]
The 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
editV.E.1. Carex sect. Phaestoglochin Dumort., Fl. Belg. 146. 1827.
Contains 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]

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]
