Similar <strong>to</strong> L. abchasica and L. campestris. From the latter it differs in caespi<strong>to</strong>se growth and seed characters. A very variable species (fide J.Kirschner, 1993: 170–172); the isolated populations differ from one another in a number of minor quantitative traits. 55. <strong>Luzula</strong> divulgata Kirschner, Folia Geobot.
