Carex rorulenta is a species of true sedge in the family Cyperaceae, endemic to the Balearic Islands of Spain. [1]
Carex rorulenta is a carpet-forming plant, distinguished from other Carex species because of its short stems and thin leaves. Leaves are dark green and pubescent. The flowers are unobtrusive, and appear at the ends of a filiform leaf-stalk. [2] A common species, it is a hexaploid with some chromosomal irregularities. [3]
Carex rorulenta favours muddy, shady banks, oak forests, cliffsides. [2]
There are over 190 vascular plant species on the Norwegian Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. This figure does not include algae, mosses, and lichens, which are non-vascular plants. For an island so far north, this number of species constitutes an astonishing variety of plant life. Because of the harsh climate and the short growing season, all the plants are slow growing. They seldom grow higher than 10 cm (4 in)
Carex is a vast genus of over 2,000 species of grass-like plants in the family Cyperaceae, commonly known as sedges. Other members of the family Cyperaceae are also called sedges, however those of genus Carex may be called true sedges, and it is the most species-rich genus in the family. The study of Carex is known as caricology.

It was not observed in the wild between 1910, when it was first described, and 1999. Until its rediscovery, C. aboriginum was considered the only plant native to Idaho to have become extinct, and it remains one of the state's rarest and most endangered plant species.
Carex debilior is a species of flowering plant in the sedge family Cyperaceae. The specific epithet derives from the Latin debilis, with reference to the species having weaker culms than Carex austrocompacta.
