Notes
Park Species Detail: Lea, 2000: Carex corrugata Fernald (Prune-fruit Sedge)Rare. Found only in mesophytic alluvial terrace forest along Maryland side of Potomac, just above the Capital Beltway. A second specimen, collected as C. grisea from rich open ground at Cropley in 1929, was determined to be this species and apparently represents the earliest Maryland record for C. corrugata. This species is distinguished from the very similar C. amphibola and C. grisea by subtle features. [From Bartonia, 2002: Very similar to C. amphibola (from which it is distinguished by the truncate apex of its achene and to C. grisea (from which it is distinguished by its longer stipe).-HH] It is fairly widespread, but not common, in Maryland and is likely overlooked as C. amphibola. Mid-May. Blake 10839 (US); 877 (Tawes)., Park Species Data Source: Lea, 2000
