Dry, open, conifer forests, meadows, low elevation prairies and Quercus garryana savannas. 100–2300 m. Casc, ECas, Est, WV. CA, WA; north to British Columbia. Native. Carex inops ssp. inops is a common, rhizomatous, upland species with hairy perigynia in short female spikes. Carex rossii and C. deflexa have similar perigynia but are more or less cespitose and have basal female spikes hidden among the leaf bases and longer inflorescence bracts. Tolerant of trampling, C. inops ssp. inops is useful for restoration. |
