Question
Found this grass like plant near Ningret National Wildlife refuge, Rhode Island, growing in a dune environment adjacent to Ammophila breviligulata (dune grass) and Solidago sempivirens on Nov. 16, 2014. No seeds present, just a spindly remnant of an inflorescence. Round stem so assuming grass not sedge. I'm stumped.
Answer
Dear Michael, without reproductive material it would be difficult be to confident, but you may have photographed the non-native Carex kobomugi (Japanese sedge). If you can find any remnant inflorescences, it would be helpful.
