Taxon:Cyperaceae: Carex magellanica Lam. ("Tall Bog-sedge")
Other name:Carex irrigua (Wahlenb.) Sm. ex Hoppe
Collected by:Mr Francis Buchanan White
Collection date:14/7/1865
Locality:Great Britain, VC88 Mid Perthshire, Methven Moss, NO0123
Institution:Perth Museum and Art Gallery (PTH)
Accession number:PTH.1999.420.10647
notes:The label expresses some doubt as to whether these specimens are
Carex magellanica or C. limosa. Some characters do appear to be
intermediate [N. Dadds, 19.5.2000] and both species were
recorded from the site - possible hybrid ?
