Carex solandri |
Carex solandri is a species of sedge that was first described by Francis Boott in 1853. [1]
It is endemic to both the North and South Islands of New Zealand. [2]
This plant was first described in 1853 by Francis Boott. [3] [4] Its specific epithet, solandri (originally Solandri), honours Daniel Solander who (with Joseph Banks) collected one of the specimens used by Boott in describing the species. [4]
In 2017 de Lange and others declared it to be "not threatened" under the New Zealand Threat Classification System (NZTCS). [5]
