Carex thouarsii
Carex thouarsii is a species of sedge found in the Tristan da Cunha archipelago. It lives chiefly in heaths dominated by Blechnum palmiforme, and Phylica arborea woodland.[1] It is widespread and common on Tristan da Cunha and Inaccessible Island, but scarce on Nightingale Island, possibly due to a lack of habitat.[1] It was first described by Dugald Carmichael in 1819 following the British annexation of Tristan da Cunha in 1816.[2]
