Carex interior is common in Renfrew County growing in open to wooded wetlands. It resembles C. rosea or C. radiata but in contrast, Carex interior is a wetland species with gynecandrous spikelets. The larger C. echinata can be easily separated from Carex interior since C. echinata usually has > 4 spikelets and its perigynia have a longer tapering beak.
