This native sedge prefers wet soil to produce it's yellowish spiny seed heads. This native sedge is not as common as some of its cousins but is sometimes used for native wetland restoration projects. Renowned botanist Carl Linnaeus first included this species among the sedge plants in his landmark publication Species Plantarum. The genus name "Carex" comes from a Greek word meaning "to cut," referring to the distinctive sharp edges of most sedges. The species name "lurida" means "pale yellow," referring to the hint of yellow in this plant's foliage and seed heads.
