awned sedge
|
|
Plants rhizomatous, forming large stands, 35–200 cm tall. |
|
sheath front usually pubescent at least near the top, becoming ladder-fibrillose with age; blades 3–10 mm wide, usually sparsely hairy; basal leaf sheaths reddish purple; leaves and sheaths that develop underwater may be glabrous. |
|
lateral 3–6 spikes female, 2–10 cm; erect or ascending; terminal 2–6 spikes male, 2–6 cm. |
|
(6.5)7–12 × 1.8–3.8 mm, with sparse spreading hairs (occasionally glabrous); and 12–20 veins; beak 2.1–4 mm long, with spreading teeth (1.2)1.5–3 mm long; style persistent; straight; stigmas 3. |
|
trigonous. |
|
with scabrous awn, glabrous, rarely sparsely pubescent. |
|

Carex granularis |
|
|
|
|
|
Often alkaline lake margins, meadows, marshes, streams, and ditches, generally in sites with water as deep as 1 m in spring and remaining wet to moist in summer. 100–2000 m. BR, BW, ECas, Owy. CA, ID, NV, WA; north to AK, east to ME and VA; Eurasia. Native. Carex atherodes is a tall, rhizomatous, more or less hairy sedge of shallow, usually alkaline wetlands. Similar C. sheldonii grows on drier terraces, and has narrower leaves and shorter, more densely pubescent perigynia with shorter teeth. Stands of C. atherodes are cut for hay. |
