Question
Sedge growing in wetlands, Lincoln, Massachusetts. Companions include skunk cabbage and Cinna arundinacea. It resembles a member of Carex section Phacocystis I saw about a half mile away on drier ground.
Answer
Dear jfc, I can't see enough of the necessary details to help you get to a more definitive identification than what you have already provided. It is likely Carex stricta (tussock sedge), but I would need to see details of the leaf sheaths, involucral bracts, and perigynia to be certain. Sorry I can't help further.
