Carex trinervis is a species of sedge which is native to Europe.
It is a perennial herb, which grows to a height of 40 cm, has glaucous leaves and spreads by stolons. It bears 2-3, sessile, oblong inflorescences per shoot.[3]
It is found in sandy marshes, damp dune slacks and heaths in coastal areas of Western Europe.[4][5] In the British Isles it was only ever identified in Ormesby, Norfolk, where it became extinct in 1869.[6][7]
