Abstract

Unweighted pair-group (UPGMA) cluster, neighbor-joining (NJ) and parsimony analyses using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) data revealed the presence of three taxa within Carex digitalis (var. digitalis, var. floridana, var. macropoda). Even when taxa occur syntopically, genetic distinctiveness is maintained (Hertford Co., NC populations of var. macropoda and var. floridana). Clades/clusters corresponding to vars. digitalis and floridana were well supported in all analyses. However, the var. macropoda clade was poorly supported on most trees. Despite our inability to fully resolve taxon relationships, AFLP data substantiate ongoing morphological and phytogeographic studies that show the presence of additional species diversity within sect. Careyanae and the eastern North American Carex flora.
