Carex rufina Drej.
Nomenclatural section used by Flora of North America project subgenus Carex, sect. Phacocystis Dumortier
Notes. This species forms rather dense, flat tussocks of soft, dark-green leaves, among which the culms are usually hidden. It is found in wet stony places, often by the edge of ponds or on snow beds. Porsild (1957) considered this a rare species known only from a few stations in the Keewatin but probably occurring in southern Baffin Island and Labrador. It is yet not known from the Arctic Archipelago, P. Ball, personal communication 1997.
