 Comments
       
  Comment: US ESA: No longer a candidate species because believed to be extinct according to notice of review, as published in Federal Register Volume 58, Number 188, Pages 51144 - 51190, September 30, 1993  
    Carex aboriginum was presumed extinct until it was rediscovered in 1999, one hundred years after it was first collected. Field surveys performed in 2001 found two more occurrences. At the time of those surveys the largest occurrence had approximately 200 plants
