Carex acuta and Blysmus compressus new species added to the project

The observations of Carex acuta (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/63353652) and Blysmus compressus (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/63353349) by @martin-bravo from Northern Spain constitute the first of this species in inaturalist for the iberian and balearic sedge flora. While 107 Cyperaceae species have been recorded to date (late november 2020) in our project, there is a total of about 170 native and introduced species recorded so far, so we have still a long way to go!!!

Scirpoides holoschoenus: the most observed sedge in the Iberian Peninsula

Scirpoides holoschoenus (https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/168639-Scirpoides-holoschoenus) is by far the most recorded sedge in the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic islands. This species is distributed throughout most warm areas of Europe and adjacent areas, especially common around the Mediterranean. However, whereas there are 509 observations for the Iberian and Baleares region so far, there are 715 observations for the whole Europe!
The fact that S. holoschoenus is the sedge with more observations may be due to its large size and easy identification (although it may be confused with Juncus species (Family Juncaceae).
