Carex novae-angliae Schwein., New England Sedge (Section ACROCYSTIS)
Carex novae-angliae is rare in Renfrew County. It forms small patches with long soft leaves and, if found early enough in the season, the weak culms can be found hidden amongst the leaves. The perigynia are whitish in color and partly translucent to the dark brown achenes underneath. Carex novae-angliae can be found in rich woods.
