TAXONOMY : 
The currently accepted scientific name of Kellog's sedge is Carex
lenticularis var. dolia (M. E.Jones) L. A. Standley.  The following
other varieties of C. lenticularis are recognized [22]:

C. lenticularis var. lenticularis
C. lenticularis var. dolia       
C. lenticularis var. impressa   
C. lenticularis var. limnophila  
C. lenticularis var. lipocarpa   

Carex eleusinoides has long been confused with C. lenticularis var.
dolia due to superficial similarities of some morphological
characteristics [22].  Carex eleusinoides is confined to Alaska and
Siberia and does not occur in the Pacific Northwest, as reported by
Hitchcock and Cronquist [11].
