Slender Sedge
Carex gracillimaSlender Sedge (Carex gracillima) is common in moist meadows and also in drier soil by the waysides, where this plant is frequently found in the low, hedge-like growth that borders country walls and fences.
The whole plant, stem, leaf, and flowering-spike, is slender and bends to the slightest breeze. This sedge may be recognized by the green, fertile spikes which are very narrow and droop from hair-like peduncles.
