Question
Hello again, this plant was found in a CT in a wetland containing peat, sphagnum, Vaccinium macrocarpon and Pogonia ophioglossoides. My guess was Schoenoplectus pungens. All individuals i came across had a single spikelet. The stem was sharply triangular. The plant was 2 feet in height.
Answer
Dear eehrlich, I can't tell you whether or not you have Schoenoplectus pungens or S. torreyi. You will need to examine details of the floral scales, achenes, and leaf relative lengths (to stem) to answer this question. If you have habit pictures or close-ups of the spikes, I may be able to assist further.
