Discussion

Carex divulsa subsp. leersii (Kneucker) Walo Koch (Carex leersii F. W. Schultz, not Willdenow) has been reported from eastern North America. All the specimens appear to be best accommodated in subsp. divulsa, although they may differ slightly from the above description.

Carex divulsa and C. muricata are part of a taxonomically difficult complex native in Europe and western Asia, which has been variously treated as consisting of several distinct species or as a single species with up to four infraspecific taxa. The treatment here is based on that by A. O. Chater (1980), who recognized two species each with two subspecies.
