Carex novae-angliae, the New England sedge, [1] is a Carex species that is native to North America.
Carex novae-angliae is loosely tufted, with ascending to erect rhizomes. The rhizomes are slender and reddish-brown, and range from 1–20 mm (0.039–0.787 in) in diameter. The culms of the plant are 5–40 cm (2.0–15.7 in) long and slightly rough. [2]
The inflorescences of the plant have both staminate and proximate spikes, with peduncles of staminate spikes 1.9–5.9 mm (0.075–0.232 in) long. [2]
The plant occurs commonly in mesic deciduous forests and less commonly in evergreen-deciduous forests. [3]
It is native to North America, but is more common in Canada and the north-eastern United States than the American Midwest or South. [4]
It is listed as threatened in Michigan, [5] and Minnesota, [6] and as a species of special concern in Connecticut. [7]
