Carex brizoides, the quaking sedge or quaking-grass sedge, is a species in the genus Carex , native to central and southern Europe. [2] Even where it is a native species, in disturbed woodlands it tends to behave invasively, forming a thick layer on the forest floor and reducing species diversity. [3] [4]
