Question
Could you help me identify this sedge? It was found on 5/25/22 in a wet calcareous meadow in North Bennington, Vermont. It was growing in a clump. The staminate flowers are below the pistillate flowers, and the scales are longer than the perigynia. There are 2 stigmas and the perigynia are 1.5-2 mm long and narrow with a long beak and teeth along the margin. Thanks.
Answer
Dear doctornancy, good afternoon. Unfortunately, without images of the mature perigynia, I could only guess at the identity. Do you have the specimen? If so, I might be able to do more with it. If you could mail it to me, reach out at ahaines@nativeplanttrust.org and I will try to assist.
