About Carex limosa L.
Carex limosa L. has a large rhizome and hairy roots. Its stem is generally just under half a meter in height, and bears a few long, threadlike basal leaves. The tip of the stem often holds a staminate spikelet, with one or more nodding pistillate spikelets hanging below it. However, some spikelets may have both male and female parts. Each fruit is a few millimeters long and spade-shaped. This sedge is an aquatic or shore plant that occurs most often in mountain peat bogs. It is widely distributed across North America and northern Eurasia.
