Taxonomic Comments
This record represents the narrow concept of Luzula comosa following Zika et al. (2015) not including L. cascadensis, L. macrantha, and L. subsessilis. In contrast, Kartesz (1999) and FNA (vol. 22, 2000) treated L. comosa in a broad sense that included L. cascadensis, L. macrantha, and L. subsessilis material.
