Question
Part of an early blooming sedge which I asked about in mid April. Is it getting to the stage where it can be identified?
Answer
Dear jfc, the pubescent perigynium with a short beak suggests this is either Carex pensylvanicum or C. umbellata. I don't have any habit shots or knowledge of basal spikes that are strictly carpellate (i.e., no staminate flowers on these basal stalks), so I can't go further than this. Hopefully you can examine the key to Carex section Acrocystis and determine which species it is between these two choices. Good luck.
