Yang by its densely pubescent lower sheaths, with dense pubescence also present on both its involucral bracts and bract sheaths. The female glumes are occasionally hispidulous on the upper part of the midrib and densely hispidulous on both sides and in the middle of the awn. Additionally, the utricle margins, surfaces, and the sides from the beak orifice to the beak tube are sparsely hairy (Table 1).</p><p>ETYMOLOGY. — The specific epithet refers to Orkhontul Sum in Mongolia, where the species was found.</p><p>DISTRIBUTION AND HABITAT. — Carex humida is distributed in Heilongjiang, Jilin, Inner Mongolia in China, where it typically grows in moist environments such as watersides, swamps, ravines, swampy meadows, and gully meadows. C. humida var. orhonensis var. nov. is located in Selenge province, Mongolia, thriving in river floodplains.</p><p>ADDITIONAL SPECIMENS EXAMINED. — China • Inner Mongolia, Chifeng, Baolin Youqi, Wulanba Forestry, ravine; 19.VII.2011; L.Q.

C. relaxa was recorded in the IPNI as being distributed in China, and specifically in Qinghai province in 1998 according to GBIF, however, no specimen photographs were provided (GBIF 2024; IPNI 2024). It is hypothesized that this might actually be a case of misidentification, with the plant being C. helingeeriensis L.Q.Zhao &amp; J.Yang. In our field studies, we found only C. helingeeriensis in the region, with no reliable specimens of C. relaxa ever being documented. In 2012, we collected C. relaxa in Stipa grandis P. A.

GBIF recorded that H. appressa was distributed in Mongolia in 2001, and included photos of the plant specimens (GBIF 2024). However, it was not listed as being present in Mongolia in POWO (POWO 2024), nor does it appear in the most recent list of Mongolia's vascular plants (Baasanmunkh et al. 2022). In 2017, our collection of this species in Uvs province, Mongolia, supported its presence in the region.</p><p>ADDITIONAL SPECIMENS EXAMINED. — Mongolia • Uvs, Kobdo sum, hilly area; 16.VII.2017; L.Q.

In our Mongolian collections, the plants displayed gemmae distinctly distributed along the entire length of the annual shoot increment (Gilman &amp; Testo 2015).
