Carex toreadora

Species of grass-like plant From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carex toreadora is a little-known species of sedge from Ecuador. It was described in 1964 by the prolific plant collector Julian A. Steyermark,[2] having been collected in 1943 at an altitude of 3,785–3,900 metres (12,418–12,795 ft) in Azuay Province.[3] There it grew in "moist mossy boggy places bordering [an] alpine lake".[3] No further collections have ever been made, and the species is listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List.[1] It is classified in Carex sect. Ovales, and is thought to be closely related to species such as Carex mandoniana and Carex macloviana.[3]
