Stream banks, bogs, meadows, and open forests, on stable, usually calcareous substrates that are wet in spring but may dry out later. 1600–2500 m. BW. North to AK, east to Newfoundland. Native. Carex concinna is recognized by its hairy perigynia, tiny staminate spike, and absent or tiny inflorescence bract. It lacks basal spikes among the leaf bases. |
Well-drained soils, often pumice, in meadows, open forests and roadsides. 1100–2500 m. Casc. CA, WA. Native. Carex halliana is a short, upland, rhizomatous sedge with hairy perigynia, tough leaves, and female spikes much longer than wide. Other upland species with hairy perigynia have softer leaves and lateral spikes only slightly longer than wide. |
