Carex davalliana, or Davall's sedge, is a species of sedge found in inland wetlands across continental Europe.

Distribution

The species became extinct across the British Isles in 1852 and has not reestablished since.^[3] It was only ever identified at one site in the British Isles (a calcareous mire near Bath, Somerset). It became extinct when the land was drained for building houses.^[4]
