Species #59: Beaked Sedge
Beaked Sedge
Carex rostrata
I’m not absolutely confident in this identification. There are probably about two dozen species of Carex in the Sitka area. Many of them look somewhat similar, and good photos are sometimes hard to find. These particular plants were growing in a low spot near the bike path out Sawmill Creek Road. It was not an area where there was standing water, though I suspect in wetter conditions there might be.
