|discussion=<p><i>Carex norvegica</i> is an amphi-Atlantic species. <i>Carex norvegica</i> subsp. inserrulata is synonymous with subsp. norvegica in this treatment; however, as some differences can be seen between subsp. inserrulata in Greenland and subsp. norvegica in northern Europe, further study is warranted.</p>
