I believe I am correct in saying this is only the 3rd ACT record of this sedge. This is one of three new recent records that record it in any numbers.

User's notes

There is a nearby record for L.urophorum, but I didn’t see that species. This taxa however occurred in quite large numbers on the northern & western slopes
