Sierra sedge
|
|
Plants cespitose, forming a thick tuft of gracefully arching leaves; culms 60–70 cm tall, without persisting basal sheaths of previous years, somewhat winged, weak, bending down in fruit. |
|
lower sheaths herbaceous and veined, not splitting; longer than their reduced blades; distal sheaths hyaline, faintly veined, not cross-corrugated, with pale, thickened; concave mouths; blades 5 mm wide, green, arising at different heights so that the sheaths are mostly visible. |
|
1.5–2.2 cm × (6)9–12 mm; dense and head-like; spikes androgynous or some female. |
|
lance-triangular; to 4.5 × 2 mm; widest near the base, brown, strongly veined, with about 15 veins on the dorsal surface and 7–12 veins on the ventral surface; base only somewhat pithy and swollen, cordate, with stipe to 0.2 mm long; beak to 2 mm long, poorly defined; stigmas 2. |
|
lenticular. |
|
about as long as the perigynia, brown. |

Carex magellanica |
|
|
|
|
|
Wet meadows, seeps, and streamsides. 1500–2100 m. Sisk. CA, NV. Native. Carex nervina produces graceful mounds of leaves with tall, weak culms that bend and look broken when mature. The thickened rim of the leaf sheath front is unique but sometimes hard to see. Compare to C. neurophora. |
