Carex hirtifolia, the pubescent sedge, is a species of sedge native to northeastern North America. It is the only species in Carex section Hirtifoliae. [1] [2] [3] The entire plant is distinctively covered soft hairs. [4]
Plants of C. hirtifolia are shortly rhizomatous, forming loose tufts. [3] The leaves are M-shaped in cross-section, [3] and no more than 8 millimetres (0.3 in) wide. [4] The inflorescences comprise 2–5 spikes, the last of which is staminate (male), the others being pistillate (female) and born on stalks less than 10 mm (0.4 in) long. [3] The utricles are less than 10 mm (0.39 in) long, with a beak 0.7–1.5 mm (0.03–0.06 in) long. [3]
