Carex Fimbriata

Carex fimbriata is a tussock-forming species of perennial sedge in the family Cyperaceae. It is native to France, Italy and Switzerland. The plant stands 10–40 cm tall that often spreads by short, rooting stems, bearing stiff, flat leaves about 2–3 mm wide which remain shorter than its flower stalks. Its 5–15 cm inflorescence carries 1–4 erect female spikes topped by 2–3 smaller male spikes, each fruit enclosed in a glossy, three-angled sac fringed with hairs.
