carex

Definitions

Examples

• It is not a grass but a sedge (Carex glauca or C. panicea) with leaves rather like those of a carnation.

• The large genus Carex contains many common sedges with grass-like leaves springing from the base or the lower part of the stem.

• It feeds in the stems of Cladium mariscus, sedge (Carex paludosa), and yellow flag (Iris pseudacorus).

• The land here is more elevated and less marshy, though somewhat impaired by tumps (of Carex cspitosa).

• In boggy places Aira alpina, Carex ustulata, and Vaccinium uliginosum are observable.
