Shimizu T. 2005. Carex semihyalofructa, a new species of Carex Sect. Rarae (Capitellatae) from Japan. Acta Phytotax. Geobot. 56: 33-39 Carex semihyalofructa is described as new based on a specimen collected at Mt. Kurikoma, Akita Prefecture, Japan. Though similar to C. fulta, C. onoei and C. uda, C. semihyalofructa is clearly distinguished by its nerveless and beakless utricles, creeping rhizomes and by the wide space that surrounds the achenes in their utricles. C. semihyalofructa occurs throughout central and northern Honshu, along the Japan Sea side from Fukui to Akita Prefectures. |
