  • Question

    Greetings, After looking through the plant key, I'm guessing that this is a variety of Sedge I stumbled upon in the forest; however I am not certain to the particular variety. Any suggestions? Thanks, Perceptive Plants

    Answer

    Perceptive Plants, without close-up images of the reproductive parts of this plant, I'm unable to help you. It may well be a member of the genus Carex, which includes 195 species in New England. Once it fruits, if you are able to get images of those structures, I may be able to provide you with an answer.
