Carex mitrata, also known as mitra sedge[1] is a tussock-forming species of perennial sedge in the family Cyperaceae. It is native to Japan, Korea, Taiwan and eastern parts of China.[2]
The species was first formally described by the botanist Adrien René Franchet in 1895 as a part of the work Bulletin de la Société Philomatique de Paris.[3] The type specimen was collected by Urbain Faurie in 1892 from the Shidzuoka mountains in 1892.[3]
