Here we cite it for the first time for the department of Cajamarca in Peru, which becomes the southernmost limit of the species range. The dwarf  Carex amicta, a species that dwell in páramos, is an atypical member of the formerly recognized subgenus  Vigneastra (now known to be nested within subgenus  Carex; Global  Carex Group (2016) and references therein), mainly constituted by large species from tropical humid forests with open panicle-like inflorescences and fertile cladoprophylls.</p><p>We conclude that the type locality of this species,  Páramo de Cuchero, belongs to some place in Colombia following Ewan (1948) whom describes the travel itinerary of Purdie between 1845 and 1846 indicating that he visited the northern part of the country with no reference to Venezuela or Ecuador or any other place south to Bogotá. This locality is listed as Colombia, Santander by the Missouri Botanical Garden database (Magill et al. c2019) without any further information and does not appear in the official colombian gazeteer (IGAC 1996).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B287880A650433FF3F3DDD8FED88CF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Phacocystis was previously unrecorded from Peru and has a quite confusing taxonomy in South America that has often led to wrong taxonomic determinations and misapplication of names, e.g. see the cases of  C. azuayae Steyerm. and  C. enneastachya C.B. Clarke in Wheeler (1998), and  C. decidua Boott and  C. brehmeri in Dragon and Barrington (2009). While more biosystematic data is available, we consider that the application of the name  C. brehmeri to these dwarf plants is the best possible solution (see also the record of  C. brehmeri in Jiménez-Mejías et al. 2016a).</p><p>There is a discrepancy between the altitude indicated in the protologue (“3100”) by Boeckeler (1896) and that provided on the type collection labels (“3200”). Beyond that, the specimens selected as types are certainly original materials of  C. brehmeri .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B287880A650430FCFB3FDE8AD48E1D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, the careful comparison with Northern Hemisphere materials of  C. livida reveals that there are no differences between the Boreal and Neotropical populations (Reznicek pers. comm., Jiménez-Mejías pers. obs.).

Wheeler (Salvador et al. 2009).  Carex section Abditispicae comprises dwarf sedges growing at high altitudes in the Andes or Southern Patagonia. Its complex taxonomy strongly difficults the identification of the individuals. The occurrence of  C. ruthsatziae in Peru is not surprising since it was known from a Bolivian locality pretty close to the Peruvian border.</p><p>Carex ruthsatziae closely resembles  C. humahuacaensis, from which it can easily be distinguished by its glumes (dark reddish-brown, obtuse to acute glumes in  C. ruthsatziae vs. orange to stramineous with acuminate tips in  C. humahuacaensis) and its narrower leaves (up to 1.5 mm in  C. ruthsatziae vs. 1.2-3.5 mm in  C. humahuacaensis) (Wheeler 2002b).</p><p>Despite  C. ruthsatziae was synonimized with  C. maritima Gunn. by JØrgensen et al. (2014), molecular data (Martín-Bravo et al. 2019) has shown both species as distinct (Jiménez-Mejías et al. in press).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B287880A670436FCFB38C889798DA3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(MOL)  .</p><p>Notes:  Carex vallis-pulchrae is a species belonging to the taxonomically complex group known as section  Aciculares . The species is disjunctly distributed in Southern Patagonia (including Tierra del Fuego), the High Andes of central Chile and Argentina, and the Central Andes of Bolivia and Peru (Wheeler 1989, Wheeler and Beck 2011). Wheeler (1989) established two varieties, i.e., var.  vallis-pulchrae restricted to High Andean territories and  var. barrosiana G.A.Wheeler for Patagonian populations, both distinguished by minor features of the utricles (more or less abruptly contracted into the beak vs. gradually attenuated). Remarkably, the Bolivian and Peruvian populations seem to be morphologically close to  var. barrosiana (the utricle is tapered into the beak). Further studies are necessary to figure out if these Central Andean populations actually belong to  var. barrosiana or if those constitute a new variety.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B287880A600436FF30393A8F038E2D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
