Taxon discussion
Carex punicola was so far known as a Central Andean element, reported from Peru, Bolivia and Argentina ( Wheeler 1988, Poindexter et al. 2017). This species is the only Southern Hemisphere taxon from section Carex Acrocystis Dumort., a mostly Holarctic group greatly diversified in North America. Carex punicola is a diminutive acaulescent sedge from dry soils (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 D,d). Interestingly, there is an unusually high number of acaulescent Carex species in South America, which suggests a possible evolutionary trend ( Jiménez-Mejías et al. 2021a).
Here, we present the first records for Ecuador, which constitutes the new northernmost limit for the species.
