Carex woodii, known as pretty sedge, is a species of sedge native to North America.[2][3]
Description
Carex woodii is a rhizomatous sedge, forming loose clumps to large vegetative colonies. The leaf sheathes are tinged with reddish-purple.[4] Compared to most other Carex across its range, it flowers and fruits earlier in the year. In Michigan it fruits by mid-May or earlier.[4]
Distribution and habitat
Carex woodii is native to the Midwestern and Eastern United States and Ontario.[3] It is found in both moist and dry woodlands.[3] It is considered a rare plant of concern in the Chicago region and Connecticut.[5]
