    Tipo y Observaciones

    Material Tipo: Basónimo: Carex bonariensis var. rupicola Pedersen
    Observaciones: Iconography: Figures 1D, 2H, 3H. See additional figures in Wheeler (1996a: 180). Etymology: From the Latin rupis, rock, and –cola, cultivation, referring to the rocky habitats where this species grows. Selected additional references: Wheeler [(1996a) taxonomic notes, key]. Notes: A remarkable species among all the representatives of Carex subgenus Vignea, found in dry rocky soils growing with cacti, a quite unusual habitat for a Carex species. As a notable vegetative character, sterile shoots are strongly thickened at the base forming a corm.
