Discussion
Carex seorsa very rarely hybridizes with C. atlantica subsp. atlantica.
Carex seorsa is unusual in sect. Stellulatae in its primarily forest understory habitat, lax, spreading habit, perigynia widest in the middle, and smooth perigynia beaks. Its affinities require further study.
Selected References
None.
