Carex pedunculata, the long-stalk sedge or longstalk sedge, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Carex, native to Canada and the central and eastern United States.[2][3] Its seeds are dispersed by ants.[4]
Description
Leaves are dark green, with leaf blades measuring up to 1mm in width. The lowest bract has a leaf sheath measuring about 4mm in length, which is tinted pink or purple. The perigynium is hairy, and measures 3.7–6 mm. The inflorescence is a spike.[5]
Distribution and habitat.
Carex pedunculata mostly thrives in woodlands and flood plains.[6]It is an early coloniser of woodland openings, though its dominance is likely to decrease as competition from other plants increases.[7]
