Description
Carex unilateralis is a low-growing, perennial, tussock-forming rhizomatous plant with a compact flower head. Bracts grow from 35–75 cm in height, and exceed the leaves in length. Leaves measure 2–3 mm in width. Inflorescence is generally angled to one side of the culm, making this species relatively easy to identify.
Range & habitat
Carex unilateralis is common throughout southwestern Canada and the western USA. It prefers lowland, damp regions such as bogs, marshes and wetlands.
