459 Carex vulpina L.

This species includes var. nemorosa (Rebent.) Koch (syn.: C. otrubae Podp.) with its main occurrence in W., C. and S. Europe. The approximate S. limit of typical C. vulpina is tentatively drawn. The N. American C. vulpinoidea Michx has been introduced into W. and C. Europe (Fl. Eur. 5/1980, p. 297). Cf. also Meusel et al. 1965, map p. 65.
