Type material A specimen labeled as num C. songarica Shrenk an nova spec. is found in herbarium P, with very incomplete information, and may be type material. It was held in the Herb Al. de Bunge and then in the Alexandri Lehmann herbarium. The lehmann herbarium including the Cyperaceae was probably sold to Böckeler in Varel according to https://www.jstor.org/stable/1220289. It may have been at B and destroyed during the Second World War. [details]

Description Ad C. nutantem plurimis notis, e. g. modo crescendi, radice, culmo, foliis cum vaginis bracteisque, etiam spicis masculis proxime accedit, sed differt perigyniis minoribus omnino non sulcatis, in rostrum tenuem abrupte coarctatis, cum in illa sint perigynia compressiuscula, sulcata et sensim in rostrum latum attenuata; similis C. acuminatae, sed perigyniis diversa; cum C. verna perigynii forma paululum convenit, ab illa tamen plurimis notis longe differt: a reliquis descriptis speciebus hujus generis magis distat.
Radix repens, flavescens, crassitie pennae columbinae, culmos hinc inde profert aggregatos pedales v. sesquipedales, trigonos, striatos, non scabros, basi foliosos. Folia culmo breviora, graminea, pallida, subglauca, linearia, acuminata, plana, glabra, margine scabriuscula; vaginae integrae, non filamentosae. Spicae masculae 2 v. 3, approximatae; squamae ovatae, castaneae, nervo pallidiore notatae, margine albido angusto cinctae, inferiores obtusiusculae, summae acuminatae, omnes saepe mucrone apiculatae. Spicae foemineae saepe solitariae, rarius 2 v. 3, distantes, cylindraceae, erectae, subsessiles et bractea foliacea elongata, evaginata fultae; vel infima pedunculo subpollicari bracteaque foliacea basi vaginata instructa; squamae ovatae, mucrone longiusculo scabriusculo acuminatae, castaneae, nervo dorsali pallido notatae, margine albido cinctae. Perigynium squama (cum mucrone) paulo longius, erecto-patulum, nitidulum, castaneum, ovato-ellipticum, turgidulum, sed non inflatum neque compressum v. trigonum, laeve, non sulcatum, substantia crassiuscula corticosa, abrupte (non sensim) in rostrum breve teretiusculum laeve bidentatum attenuatum; dentibus castaneis acutis laevibus. Stylus inclusus; stigmata 3, exserta. Achaenium flavescens, parvum, triquetrum, styli basi mucronatum; lateribus ellipticis minutissime punctulatis.
Inventa in montibus Alatau, d. 16 Julii [1841] m. seminibus maturis instructa. [details]

Nomenclature note The independent publication of the name [...] Carex songarica Schrenk and C. songorica Kar. & Kir., in works dated ‘1842’ has created a bibliographical problem not easy to solve. The instalment of A. Schrenk’s ‘‘ Novae plantarum species . . . in Songaria lectae ” containing his descriptions of A. oreoprasum, A. atrosanguineum, A. pseudocepa and Carex songarica appeared in Bull. Sci. Acad. Imp. Sci. St.-Pétersb. x, n. 23, ‘‘ Emis le 18 juillet 1842’, the previous number being “‘ Emis le 5 juillet 1842’; in the absence of evidence to the contrary, July 1842 can be accepted as its month of issue. The instalment of Karelin and Kirilov’s ‘“ Enumeratio plantarum in desertis Songoriae orientalis ’’, containing descriptions of their A. atrosanguineum, A. galanthum, A. polyphyllum, etc., appeared in Bull. Soc. Imp. Nat. Mosc. xv, n. 3, which is simply dated ‘‘ 1842’’. The Paris Académie des Sciences received the previous part (xv, n. 2) between 12 and 19 September 1842 and evidently then applied to Moscow for missing earlier parts of the Bulletin, i.e. xiv, n. 4 (1841), and xv, n. I (1842), which were received in Paris by 31 October 1842 (cf. Compt. Rend. Acad. Sci. Par. xv : 602, 859). The Linnean Society of London received the Bulletin Xv, n. 2, on 2 October 1842. It is a fair assumption that had the Bulletin xv, n. 3, been published when these were dispatched to Paris and London, i.e. in September and early October 1842, it would have been sent at the same time. Actually, however, the Paris Académie did not receive this part until the week of 23-30 January 1843 (cf. Compt. Rend. Acad. Sci. Par. xvi : 280), while the Regensburg Botanische Gesellschaft received it between 25 January and 4 February 1843 (cf. Flora xxvi, 1 : 84). However, according to the report of the meeting of the Société Impériale des Naturalistes de Moscou held on 15 October 1842, ‘‘ Mr. le second Secrétaire, le Docteur Renard, présente le No. 3 du Bulletin de la Société lequel parait sous sa rédaction ’’ (Bull. Soc. Imp. Nat. Mosc. xv, n. 4 : 896). Presumably it was made available to members of the Société in Russia about this time ; hence October 1842 may be taken as its month of publication. The Linnean Society acquired it much later. [details]
