Abstract

This paper presents an update of the knowledge about the genus Carex in Slovenia, based on field investigations, herbarium revisions in LJU and LJS, as well as an analysis of literature data. Currently, there are 88 Carex species known in Slovenia, including two introduced ones. The occurrence of another seven taxa is considered doubtful. Particular attention has been paid to hybrids, which appear quite often in the genus Carex. Currently, there are 20 Carex hybrids known in Slovenia, while another one is doubtful. In this paper, an overview of 35 rare native Carex species in Slovenia and all 20 hybrids is given. For all these taxa a distribution map is provided.
