Carex lenticularis is a species of sedge known by the common names lakeshore sedge[1] and goosegrass sedge. It is native to much of northern North America, including most all of Canada and the western United States, where it grows in wet habitats.[1]

Description

This sedge, Carex lenticularis, produces clumps of slender, greenish yellow, angled stems. The inflorescence bears erect spikes with a long bract exceeding the length of the spikes.[2] The fruit is covered in a green, sometimes purple-dotted perigynium beneath a brown or black flower scale.[3]
