Carex subspathacea, called Hoppner's sedge, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Carex, native to coastal salt marshes of the Arctic and northwest Pacific Oceans; Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, northern and far eastern Russia, Korea, and Japan.[2] It is grazed by snow geese (Anser caerulescens).[3]
Description
Carex subspathacea is a low-growing, rhizomatous sedge species, often growing in matted clumps in salty environments such as coastal salt-marshes. Leaves are long and narrow, growing up to 20 cm in height. Culms are smooth, usually shorter than the shoots. The inflorescence is a spike, fruiting in late summer.[4][5]
