Ecology and Life History

Short General Description:

Description:

Carex scirpoidea ssp. scirpoidea is a tufted grass-like plant. Leaves are strap-like and 2.5 mm wide. Stems are 5-40 cm tall and have one flower/fruit cluster (spike) at their apices. Spikes are composed of either entirely male or entirely female flowers and are narrowly cylindrical. Stems from individual plants usually have only male spikes or only female spikes. Female flowers develop into fruits (perigynia) which are 1.8-3 mm long (Dunlop 2002).
