Carex hybrids

[Kevin Thiele]

A colleague working in Papua New Guinea is having great difficulty getting
GPS fixes under the tropical canopy. Does anyone have experience with novel
solutions to this problem? - there is no need for sub-metre accuracy - 5-10m
would be fine.

Cheers - Kevin Thiele

Hi

Does anybody know the correct name for a Carex flava x Carex  viridula
hybrid?  I would also like to know where and when it was first  collected.

Secondly, there are several synonyms for C. viridula and their  hybrids with
C. flava have all been named.  Does priority go to the first  of these
hybrids
described (eg C. flava x C. demissa (C. viridula ssp oedocarpa)  = C. x
alsatica described in 1890) or the hybrid for C. flava x C.  viridula?

Cheers

Nige
