Description
Carex micropoda forms tufts of leaves, each leaf being up to 2 millimetres (0.079 in) wide.[2] The stems are 5–40 centimetres (2.0–15.7 in) tall, and end in a single spike of flowers with the female (pistillate) flowers towards the base of the spike, and the male (staminate) flowers towards the tip. The utricles are 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in) long and 1.0–1.3 mm (0.039–0.051 in) wide, with a short brown beak.[2]
Taxonomy
Carex micropoda was first described by Carl Anton von Meyer in 1831. It is very similar to, and possibly synonymous with, a number of other published taxa.[1][2]
