Mountain sedge (Carex praecox)
Description
The culms of Carex pilulifera grow to a length of 8-30 centimetres (3-12 in), and are often noticeably curved. The leaves are 5-20 cm (2-8 in) long and 1.5-2.0 millimetres (0.06-0.08 in) wide, and are fairly flat.The rhizomes of C. pilulifera are very short, giving the plant a caespitose (densely tufted) appearance. The tussock grows outwards through the production of annual side-shoots.
