Carex abscondita, the thicket sedge, is a North American species of sedge first described by Kenneth Mackenzie in 1910. [1] [2] It grows along the central and eastern United States, from eastern Texas to southern Missouri, east to the Atlantic coast, and north to New Hampshire. [3] It grows in moist areas of forests, shrublands, and swamps. [4]
It is closely related to and sometimes confused with Carex digitalis, which, compared to Carex abscondita, has longer flowering stems relative to the leaves, wider staminate spikes, and often has thinner leaves. [4]
