notes:Carex dioica? See Welsh Botanology. p. 84 [Davies reference to C. dioica in Welsh Botanology is only to query whether the round stemmed C. dioica he is familiar with (which presumably include the specimens here) are the same as those of other writers, who refer to the stems being three angled. C. dioica does have rounded stems and his specimens here look like C. dioica.]
