Carex pedunculata, the long-stalk sedge or longstalk sedge, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Carex , native to Canada and the central and eastern United States. [2] [3] Its seeds are dispersed by ants. [4]
Carex pedunculata is an evergreen, tussock-forming plant that grows between 8 and 25 cm in height. [5] Leaves are dark green, with leaf blades measuring up to 1mm in width. The lowest bract has a leaf sheath measuring about 4mm in length, which is tinted pink or purple. The perigynium is hairy, and measures 3.7–6 mm. The inflorescence is a spike. [6]
Carex pedunculata mostly thrives in woodlands and flood plains. [7] It is an early coloniser of woodland openings, though its dominance is likely to decrease as competition from other plants increases. [8]
Cardamine bulbosa, commonly called bulbous bittercress or spring cress, is a perennial plant in the mustard family. It is native to a widespread area of eastern North America, in both Canada and the United States. Its natural habitat is moist soils of bottomland forests and swamps, often in calcareous areas.
Sceptridium dissectum is a common fern in the family Ophioglossaceae, occurring in eastern North America. Like other plants in this group, it normally only sends up one frond per year. It has long been the subject of confusion because the frond presents in one of two forms, either the normal form that resembles other plants in the genus, or the skeletonized form.
Carex lacustris, known as lake sedge, is a tufted grass-like perennial of the sedge family (Cyperaceae), native to southern Canada and the northern United States.

It is also known as white licorice, forest bedstraw, and more. Galium circaezans is a weedy, herbaceous perennial or subshrub. It is native to Central and Eastern North America. Other synonyms of Galium circaezans include Galium brachiatum Muhl. (Illegitimate), Galium circaeoides Roem. & Schult, and Galium rotundifolium var. circaezans (Michx.) Kuntze. Galium circaezans is not threatened to go extinct.

It is native to central and eastern North America and it exists in wet to dry soils. Carex rosea can be found in shores of streams and bottomlands, as well as ponds. It is known to have good adaptations to dry-shade locations. It is an evergreen plant which is easy to grow.
