Ind. Loc.:—“In nemoribus montosis; Boschi di S. Fratello (Tin.)”.

Lectotype (here designated):—[Sicily] C. intricata *, Spica mascula solitaria foemineis tribus distantibus infimis radicali longe pedunculata, suprema sessili, stigmatibus binis, fructibus subrotundo-canescentibus, apiculatis, squama ovata vel [...] scabra subcanescentibus lanatis S. Fratello , Montesoro laghetto, 16 June 1831, s. c. [manu V. Tineo] ( PAL50306 !) .

Note:—There is one specimen at PAL including two individuals and the following three labels (Vincenzo Tineo handwriting): “ Carex intricata Tin., Montesoro laghetto, Giugno 1831 ”, “ Carex intricata *, S. Fratello, Montesoro laghetto, 16 Giugno 1831 ”, and a third including the Latin description of the species (which is partially reported by Gussone 1844: 574). Two additional specimens were traced at K (barcodes K000960446 and K000960448); they are collected by Vincenzo Tineo in the Nebrodi Mountains. However, it is not certain whether these specimens belong to the original material because their dates of entry into the herbarium are after 1844. PAL50306 was checked by P. Jiménez-Mejías in November 2010, but, to our knowledge, it has not been used for nomenclatural acts by this author. The specimen here designated as lectotype of the name fits the original description and corresponds to the current use of the name that is applied to a taxon occurring in Spain (Sierra Nevada), Morocco (Atlas Mountains), Corse, and Sicily ( Koopman 2011).
