About Carex annectens (E.P.Bicknell) E.P.Bicknell

Scientific name: Carex annectens (E.P.Bicknell) E.P.Bicknell. This species is frequently confused with Carex vulpinoidea. It can be told apart from C. vulpinoidea by three key traits: its longer leaves, which exceed the height of the flowering stems, its more elongated perigynia, and its longer flowering spikes, which are often more than 5.5 cm long. Like many other sedges, the perigynia of Carex annectens start ripening in June.
