Growing in a bed of seeded organic buckwheat. Not sure whether this plant is the result of random, stray cultivated seed of some kind mixed in with the buckwheat, or whether seed was already present in soil or brought in by bird/wind/etc.

« C. pellita resembles 2 other colony-forming sedges with hairy perigynia: Carex lasiocarpa and Carex houghtoniana. C. lasiocarpa has wiry leaves and bracts, strongly rolled along the edges forming a slender tube, where C. pellita leaves are flat with a distinct midrib. C. houghtoniana perigynia are rather larger (to 6.5 mm) with stronger venation and more loosely arranged on the spike, and has a preference for drier, disturbed soils. »
