Park Species Detail: Wiegand, 2001: Plant species documented in the survey area (from Sandy Hook, Maryland to District of Columbia line) during this survey. Lea, 2000: Carex woodii Dewey (Wood's Sedge)Frequent. Occurs in rich, dry forests on Pleistocene terraces from Bear Island (where locally common) to Vaso Island; not found on Virginia side. This early flowering species occurs in several Maryland locations in large stoloniferous colonies reminiscent of, and often along with, C. pensylvanica, and it has likely been overlooked as that species. Sterile C. woodii plants have longer leaves that show a more blue-green cast than do those of C. penrylvanica. Recently considered historical for Maryland (Maryland Natural Heritage Program 1994), it was rediscovered in 1994 in western Maryland and in 1995 by this survey. This is the first report of C. woodii for the Potomac Gorge. Late April to mid-May. 431, 1377 (US); 951, 1381 (MARY); 756, 762 (Tawes); I342 (Frost); 758 (Aacc). Bartgis, 1993: State Endangered extirpated plant, in Potomac Fall-Line. Wiegand, 1999: Plant species documented in the survey area (from Great Falls, Maryland, downriver to the District of Columbia) during this survey. Currently listed in Maryland as endangered or endangered/extirpated., Park Species Data Source: Bartgis, 1993;Lea, 2000;TNC, 1999;Wiegand, 1999;Wiegand, 2001;
