The nomenclatural status of two Carex species described by Ohwi are reviewed. We found typification errors in C. chosenica Ohwi and C. ochrochlamys Ohwi. Accordingly, proper lectotypifications for the two taxa are provided here. We desginated specimens from the Kyoto University Herbarium (KYO) as lectotype for the two Carex taxa.
