Carex bromoides, known as brome-like sedge, [1] brome-sedge, [2] and dropseed of the woods, [3] is a species of sedge in the genus Carex. It is native to North America.
Taxonomy
Carex bromoides was described by Carl Ludwig Willdenow in 1805. [4] It has two accepted subspecies: [5] [6]
- Carex bromoides subsp. bromoides — broadly distributed across eastern North America
- Carex bromoides subsp. montana Naczi — restricted to Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina
Carex bromoides subsp. montana has larger features including wider culms and leaf blades, as well as proportionately longer perigynium beaks. [6]
Distribution and habitat
Carex bromoides ranges across most of eastern North America, including Mexico, the United States, and Canada. [6] It is found primarily in wooded wetland habitats, occasionally in wet meadows. [7] [6]
