Carex haydenii is a species of seasonally saturated soils in open habitats. It appears to be declining in abundance with changes in land use. Carex haydenii is often confused with C. stricta; it can be identified by the inflated perigynia that are rounded apically, acute scales, and glabrous leaves and sheaths. Only basal sheaths of C. haydenii are ladder-fibrillose. Although often sympatric with C. stricta and C. nigra, no hybrids appear to be formed.

Of conservation concern. Carex paeninsulae is rare and restricted to the northern half of the Florida peninsula. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
