Carex careyana, commonly known as Carey's sedge,[3] is a species of sedge found in the eastern United States and Ontario, Canada.[4][5]
Its natural habitat is nutrient-rich moist forests, often on rocky calcareous slopes, and around outcrops such as caves or sinkholes.[6][7] It is a conservative species, only being found in intact natural communities.[8]
It can be distinguished from other Carex in section Careyanae by its combination of purple leaf bases, broad basal leaves, long leaf-like bracts on the culm, and relatively large perigynia.[8][7] It produces flowers and fruits in spring.[6]
