Carex albursina (White Bear sedge, blunt-scaled wood sedge)[1] is a wide-leaved sedge. It grows in moist deciduous or mixed woods in eastern North America.[2] It was named after White Bear Lake in east central Minnesota, where it was found by Edmund Sheldon in the 1890s.[3] The leaves are 10–38 mm (381 12 inches) wide and 10–35 cm (4–14 inches) long.[2]
