green-and-white sedge
|
rope-root sedge
|
| Plants cespitose, 30–120 cm tall, the vegetative culms sometimes rooting at nodes. |
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 green and veined except for a small white-hyaline triangle at the top; blades 2–4.5 mm wide. |
0.4–3 mm wide. |
1–4.5(6) cm × 5–14 mm, typically elongate; spikes distinct but overlapping, gynaecandrous, rounded or tapered to tip. |
oval, 0.5–1.6 cm long; spikes 2–7, sessile; bractless; erect, androgynous, or lateral spikes female. |
obovate, 3–4.6 × 1.6–2.6(2.8) mm; the body widest above the middle, green or light brown; veins 5 to many on each face; wings 0.5–0.8 mm wide; beak tip winged and ciliate-serrulate almost to the tip, 1.4–2.2 mm from achene top to beak tip; stigmas 2. |
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. |
lenticular, 1.3–1.7 × 0.7–1 mm, 0.4–0.5 mm thick. |
lenticular. |
2.2–3.7 mm long; shorter and narrower than the perigynia, white-hyaline; aging silvery brown, with green center; apex obtuse. |
about as long as the perigynia, brown with greenish center and pale margins. |

Bogs and pond shores, on peaty or sandy soils, often where water levels fluctuate greatly, sometimes a weed in cranberry bogs. 0–50 m. Est. WA; eastern North America, HI, Central America, Caribbean; New Zealand. Exotic. Carex longii is cespitose and has a silvery-green, elongated inflorescences and green leaf sheath fronts. It strongly resembles native C. feta, which has rounder spikes and perigynium bodies widest near the middle. |
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. |
