INTRODUCTION OF <i>CAREX </i>L. SPECIES ( <i>CYPERACEAE </i>JUSS) FROM NATURAL FLORA IN STAVROPOL BOTANICAL GARDEN
Numerous members of <i>Carex</i> L. genus are an integral part of garden-park art as ornamental elements, that is of interest to study the species. We present the results of phenological observations and seed multiplication of the species collected fromciscaucasia: <i>C. acutiformis</i> Ehrh., <i>C. colchica</i> J. Gay., <i>C. diluta</i> Bieb., <i>C. humilis</i> Leyss., <i>C. ericetorum</i> Poll., <i>C. hirta</i> L., <i>C. melanostachya</i> Bieb., <i>C. otrubae</i> Podp., <i>C. pendula</i> Huds., <i>C. praecox</i> Schreber., <i>C. pseudocyperus</i> L., <i>C. remota</i> L., <i>C. riparia </i> Curtis., <i>C. stenophylla</i> Wahlenb, <i>C. sylvatica</i> Huds. Preliminary assessment of ornamentality for <i>C. pseudocyperus</i> L., <i>C. riparia</i> Curtis., <i>C. pendula</i> Huds., <i>C. acutiformis</i> Ehrh. and <i>C. diluta</i> bieb is given.
