Carex paui is a rare species of sedge (family Cyperaceae), with a western Mediterranean distribution; Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Spain, (including the Balearic Islands), and Italy (Elba and Sicily).[1][2] Some authorities considered it a synonym of Carex laxula, but as that name was not validly published, Carex paui was the next available name.[3][4]
