19 populations of 3 species of Carex sect. Phaestoglochin and 9 populations of C. echinata of C. sect. Stellulatae were studied karyologically and morphologically. The following chromosome numbers were found: 2_n_ = 58 in C. divulsa subsp. divulsa and subsp. leersii, C. muricata subsp. lamprocarpa, C. spicata, and C. echinata; 2_n_ = 56, 55 in C. muricata subsp. muricata. A change in the taxonomic scheme of C. sect. Phaestoglochin is proposed.
