Carex determination request
Taxon 1 (Lužánky)
Treated as C. pendula in Czech literature.
Ligule od lower and middle leaves white, achenes widest at the middle, utricles elongate hexagonal. Distribution map in the Carex pendula report, isolated arela formed by single quadrant 6765d in phytochorion 16 Znojemsko-brněnská pahorkatina, namely Lužánky. Invasive plants from this arela have thin-walled weakly veined utricles with the shape of C. flacca, pinkish and yellowish green combined in one spike, and dark purple imposed beak. The utricles have two local maxima of curvature between inflection points, they have similarly as C. flacca the shape of an elongated hexagon. (Utricles of C. pendula have one local maximum of curvature between inflection points, they have the shape of a rhombus.) I guessed that it might be flacca×pendula, but was said that the hybrid does not exist.
Taxon 2 (Bystrc, Ivanovice, Jehnice, Řícmanice and 50 others)
Treated as C. agastachys in Czech literature.
Ligule of lower and middle leaves white, achenes widest at the middle, obtuse to rounded in outline. Achenes of C. agastachys are widest at the apex, ie. truncate in outline. Green utricles of Taxon 2 have one local maximum of curvature between inflection points, they have the shape of a rhombus.Their ligules coincide with C. pendula, and long pistillate spikes too. Distribution map in the Carex agastachys report, an isolated arela formed by quadrants 6665c, 6665d, 6764d, 6765a, 6765b, 6766 a, 6864b, 6864d, and lying in phytochorion 68 Moravské podhůří Vysočiny.
I determined the uniform plants as C. pendula, but was said that it is C. agastachys
