Carex acidicola is a tussock-forming species of perennial sedge in the family Cyperaceae. It is native to south eastern parts of the United States in Alabama and Georgia. [1]
The species was first described by the botanist Robert Naczi in 2002 from the type specimen collected in Clarke County in Georgia and was published in the journal Novon . [2]
The turfy plant produces many stems from the same root forming a dense mat. It has purple to red coloured culms that are 11 to 41 cm (4.3 to 16.1 in) in length and have a width of 3.2 to 7.4 cm (1.3 to 2.9 in) at the base and deep green leaves with a width of 3.7 to 5.5 mm (0.15 to 0.22 in) at the base. [3]
It is usually found in sandy to loamy soils in deciduous forests and is considered rare and is only known to occur in ten small populations, it often occurs with Carex superata. [4]
Carex binervis, the green-ribbed sedge, is a European species of sedge with an Atlantic distribution. It is found from Fennoscandia to the Iberian Peninsula, and occurs in heaths, moorland and other damp, acidic environments. It typically grows to a height of 15–120 cm (6–50 in), and has inflorescences comprising one male and several female spikes, each up to 45 mm (1.8 in) long. The utricles have two conspicuous green veins, which give rise to both the scientific name and the common name of the species. In the vegetative state, it closely resembles C. bigelowii, a species that usually grows at higher altitude. C. binervis was first described by James Edward Smith in 1800, and is classified in Carex sect. Spirostachyae; several hybrids with other Carex species are known.
