Carex aztecica is a species of flowering plant in the sedge family, Cyperaceae. [1] It is native to Central America. [1]
It was originally named Carex fuscotincta by Kenneth Kent Mackenzie in 1909. [2] However, this name was already occupied by Carex fuscotincta Merino, so the species was renamed by Mack as Carex aztecica in 1935. [3] Carex fuscotincta Merino is now considered a synonym of Carex caryophyllea. [4]
