The Muckross locality recorded above strengthens the 
opinion held by many, that this plant is a hybrid between 
C. paniculata and C. remota. Both these sedges grow there 
in great abundance, and it was this juxtaposition in such 
favourable surroundings that led to a search being made for 
their hybrid. Although variable in appearance, the Kerry 
plant is usually much nearer to C. paniculata, of which it has 
the strong upright growth and densely tufted habit. Else- 
where in Ireland only one locality, in Donegal, appears to be 
on record for this plant.
