Robin, if you could make a list of interesting (potential hybrid) specimens, I'll gather them up and send them to you (or Mike P. if you prefer) for detting.

Alex
I found a lot of taxa have been dumped in the C.spicata box as I have worked through it. Some have been looked at by Dick David and I found the original det. was not always C.spicata (even C.echinata occasionally). So I have chucked in my ha'p'th, so far as I can go with a slightly fuzzy photo. Yes, I'll list the sheets worthy of scrutiny. I think Mike Porter is the best person to send them to if he has the time.

Some of the sites are not in Sedges ed.3, so it would be good to get the specimens properly identified and the sites listed for ed.4 (?) or some purposeful twitching expedition at some point.
