rope-root sedge
|
| Plants rhizomatous, shoots arising singly or in clumps, 5.5–20 cm tall; plant bases reddish brown. |
Plants rhizomatous but rhizomes rarely collected; flowering culms 5–35 cm tall; vegetative culms erect when young, becoming horizontal stolons 1+ m long. |
sheath fronts membranous; blades 1–3.1 mm wide. |
0.4–3 mm wide. |
basal spikes absent; lowest bract sheath inflated, 2–5 mm long; blade absent or less than 2 cm long, purpletinged; lateral spikes 2–3, crowded near the terminal spike, 0.4–0.7 × 0.2–0.4 mm; terminal spike male; tiny, 0.3–0.7 cm × 1.1–1.5 mm. |
oval, 0.5–1.6 cm long; spikes 2–7, sessile; bractless; erect, androgynous, or lateral spikes female. |
elliptic, 2.3–3.3(3.5) × 1.1–1.4 mm, pubescent with crinkled hairs; veinless but with 2 ribs, bases succulent, withering when dry; beak 0.3–0.4 mm long; stigmas 3. |
elliptic, 2–4(4.5) × 1.4–2.2 mm, green or brown; glossy, with many veins as well as 2 marginal ribs; stigmas 2. |
rounded to trigonous. |
lenticular. |
dark reddish brown with whitish margins. |
|
smaller than the perigynia; reddish brown; ovate; apex obtuse, minutely ciliate. |
about as long as the perigynia, brown with greenish center and pale margins. |
1.3–1.4 mm long. |

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. |
Perennially wet, organic soils of bogs, sedge marshes, and stream banks. 0–100 m. Est. WA; north to AK, east to Greenland; Eurasia. Exotic. Carex chordorrhiza is recognized by its small oval inflorescences that can be mistaken for single spikes, long stolons, and its bog habitat. |
