About Carex michauxiana Boeckeler
This species of sedge, Carex michauxiana Boeckeler, grows in a tufted habit, and typically measures 10 to 60 cm (3.9 to 23.6 in) across. It produces smooth, triangular cross-section culms that are 15 to 70 cm (5.9 to 27.6 in) long. Its yellowish to green leaves develop from a thin ligule, an outgrowth at the junction of the leafstalk. The leaves are flat to M-shaped, 1.2 to 4.6 mm (0.047 to 0.181 in) wide, smooth on the lower surface, and covered with small dots on the upper surface, especially towards the tip. This plant occurs mostly in temperate biomes across the Northern Hemisphere. In North America, it ranges from Saskatchewan in the northwest to Newfoundland in the northeast, extending south to Minnesota and New York in the southeast. In Asia, it grows in far eastern Russia's Kamchatka region, extending south through Japan to northeastern China. It is also found in New Guinea.
