About Carex pedunculata Muhl. ex Willd.
Carex pedunculata is an evergreen, tussock-forming species that reaches a height of 8 to 25 cm. Its leaves are dark green, with leaf blades growing up to 1 mm wide. The lowest bract bears a leaf sheath around 4 mm long, tinted pink or purple. Its hairy perigynium measures 3.7 to 6 mm, and its inflorescence takes the form of a single spike. This species grows mostly in woodlands and flood plains. It is an early colonizer of woodland openings, but its dominance tends to decrease as competition from other plants increases.
