Carex goetghebeurii = Uncinia tenuifolia G.A.Wheeler & Goetgh., Aliso 14: 144 (1995).
Taxon discussion
Another Ecuadorian endemic that belongs to sect. Carex Uncinia (see C. ecuadorensis ).
Carex goetghebeurii was reported as threatened (VU category) in the Ecuadorian Red List (as Uncinia tenuifolia ). This was based on several collections of the same single population extending along a slope next to a road in Zamora-Chinchipe. We visited one of them ("13 km E of the pass, just before junction with old road", -3.9764109958906992 S, -79.10201083174987 W) and failed to find it. The location has been transformed into a quarry. This unfortunate finding depicts that this plant is already negatively affected by human activities and reveals the need to confirm the persistence of this population and, if positive, to apply urgent conservation measures.
