About Carex buxbaumii Wahlenb.
Carex buxbaumii Wahlenb. is a species of sedge that is commonly called Buxbaum's sedge or club sedge. It is native to a large portion of the northern Northern Hemisphere, with its range extending from Alaska to Greenland to Eurasia, and covering most of Canada and the United States. This plant grows in wet habitats, including marshes and fens. It forms clumps that grow from long rhizomes. Its stems reach a maximum height of 75 to 100 cm, which equals 30 to 39 inches. The leaves are narrow and small. Its inflorescence has a bract that is sometimes longer than the spikes. The fruits bear dark-colored bracts, and have a sac structure called a perigynium or utricle that is gray-green and rough in texture.
