Description
Carex woodii is a rhizomatous sedge, forming loose clumps to large vegetative colonies. The leaf sheathes are tinged with reddish-purple.[4] Compared to most other Carex across its range, it flowers and fruits earlier in the year. In Michigan it fruits by mid-May or earlier.[4]

gollark: I don't think that would be better.
gollark: I guess it could be modified to stay on until 50% heat, but that would be mostly unhelpful except during very high but brief demand (which is why we have actual buffers) and also would be unsafe.
gollark: I don't know if the current control system could read the comparator as analog and stay turned on for longer, but it wouldn't help outside of weird circumstances.
gollark: We have stable power. It just can't scale to above 2.7kRF/t or whatever.
gollark: That reminds me; we could make an automatic scrap processor for free random junk.
