The plant genus Carex - Sedge, belonging to the Cyperaceae family, is the largest genus in our country. Sedges are important indicator species in nature management. On the other hand, they are difficult species for many botanists to identify. Firstly because there are so many of them, secondly because many species resemble each other and thirdly because hybrids between species are relatively common.
In this second part of the Nova Flora Neerlandica, the authors first provide an overview of the history of caricology in our country. Subsequently, all 73 species ever found in the wild in our country, including twelve introduced (adventive) species and one extinct species, are treated in detail, as are all hybrids known so far, 33 in total. The beautiful color photos give the species a face.
