[No abstract: first paragraph only] Carex fracta Mack. is proposed for conservation to preserve a name in widespread use, for the last 90 years, for a common sedge found throughout the mountains of California, Oregon, western Nevada, and Washington in the western United States. Carex amplectens Mack., now known to be the earliest name for the species involved, is proposed for rejection as it is a seldom-used name that has formerly only been applied to a supposed rarely collected Californian endemic.
