Cspitose, or cespitose, growing in turf-like patches or tufts. |
I have never seen it cespitose, never more than two specimens growing near each other. |
Carex haydenii differs by having ladder-fibrillose proximal leaf sheaths, a densely cespitose habit, mostly veinless spotted perigynia, and pistillate spikes 1-5 cm long. |
The stem is subequal, cespitose, reticulate to the base, pulverulent below. |
