Notes
Park Species Detail: Terrell, 1970: Woods in area 3 (3 (Lock 10 to Carderock, north parking lot), ); fl. Early May. Lea, 2000: Carex torta F. Boott ex Tuckerman (Twisted Sedge) Rare. One station found by the current study, along rocky banks and depositional bars of Cabin John Creek - apparently the same location as the specimen at GMUF. Terrell(1970) reported a second station along the main stem Potomac. Observations suggest that it may be declining in the area because of impacts of watershed development on stream flows. Late April to early May. 1443, TerreN 4222 (US); 1444 (MARY);Miller 152 (GMUF)., Park Species Data Source: Lea, 2000;Terrell, 1970
