   • 1936, Steindór Steindórsson, “Um mýragróður Íslands [On the moorland vegetation of Iceland]”, in Náttúrufræðingurinn, volume 6, number 3, page 143:

     Ýmsar aðrar starartegundir vaxa einnig í starungsmýrinni, svo sem blátoppastör, belgjastör og hárleggjastör, og sé mjög votlent, leita bæði gulstörin og fífan inn í ríki mýrastararinnar.

     Other different sedge species also grow on the sedge moor, such as hoary sedge, grass-like sedge and hair-like sedge, and if it is very wet, both Lyngbye's sedge and cottongrass find their way into the black sedge's domain.

   • 1967 January 25, Helgi Hallgrímsson, “Þættir af Flateyjardal [Stories from Flateyjardalur]”, in Dagur, number 6, page 5:

     Þar fann ég mikið af flóastör, hrafnastör, og belgjastör, en í blautu halli fyrir ofan mýrina óx ígulstör.

     There I found much bog sedge, rock sedge and grass-like sedge, while on a wet slope above the moor grew star sedge.

   • 1989, Borgþór Magnússon and Sturla Friðriksson, “Framræsla mýra [Draining of a swamp]”, in Ráðunautafundur, volume 12, number 1, page 153:

     Veruleg auking varð einnig á þekju belgjastarar og blávinguls, en hann var eina grastegundin sem jók útbreiðslu sína að einhverju marki.

     There was also a significant increase in the coverage of grass-like sedge and viviparous fescue, but this was the only grass species that increased its distribution to any degree.
