Characteristics
Carex bromoides Schkuhr ex Willd. ssp. bromoides
brome-like sedge
Forming dense stands of large low tussocks. Swamps, seeps, wet woods, and rarely a lone individual in more mesic forests. Occasionally in more open wetlands. It does particularly well in rich sites and is perhaps restricted to such situations in the northern parts of New York. The narrow abundant leaves in dense tussocks is conspicuous and distinctive.
