Conservation status

Distribution

Pancarpathian endemic.

Notes

Following POWO (https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/443701-1, accessed on 05.06.2023), there are three subspecies of L. alpinopilosa (Chaix) Breistr - subsp. alpinopilosa (distributed in Western and Central Europe), subsp. deflexa ( Kozuharov) Kirschner (native to South Europe) and subsp. obscura (the only subspecies occurring in the Carpathians). Chopyk and Fedoronchuk (2015), on page 544, considered L. spadicea (All.) DC. a synonym of L. alpinopilosa subsp. Luzula alpinopilosa obscura and L. alpinopilosa . Similarly, Mirek et al. (2020), on page 112, considered L. spadicea a synonym of L. alpinopilosa without clarification of the subspecies. Considering the absence of other subspecies in the range, all plants from the Carpathian Mts. identified as L. alpinopilosa and L. spadicea should be regarded as belonging to L. alpinopilosa subsp. obscura .
