Abstract

Carex divulsa aggregate, belonging to Carex muricata group in the section Phaestoglochin (Cyperaceae) was studied by 60 macro-and micromorphological characters in a wider geographical range than has been attempted previously, and the status or identity of several taxa commonly associated to this aggregate are examined. Results of numerical analysis support the recognition of six new species within Carex divulsa aggregate, which are also in accordance with by their geographic circumscription. C. cypricus is endemic to Cyprus, C. enokii from the Mediterranean Bassin, C. magacis from Spain and France mountains, C. nordica from Northern Europe, and C. egorovae and C. otomana from East Europe to Central Asia. The morphological data were coded and used in a phylogenetic analysis to discover the relationships among taxa. A key to all taxa belonging to the aggregate is included. Diagnostic characters, illustrations, and detailed descriptions of all the species are given. Notes are also presented on the habitat, distribution, phenology, etimology, and conservation status of each taxa.
