TABLE 3 in A Comparative Study of the Inflorescence in the Genus Carex (Cyperaceae)

TABLE 3. Characteristics of the inflorescences of the Core Carex Clade (cont). All measurement in mm. P = Paracladium, L = Length, HF = Main florescence Ps = Pseudospike. Inflorescence type: P = Paniculiform, R = Racemiform, S = Spiciform, sC = Subcorymbiform. Pseudospike type: A = Androgynous, G = Gynecandrous, U = Unisexual, Um = Male unisexual Uf = Female unisexual. If more than one species has been studied within a section, just the name of the first is given.
