Carex is a vast genus of over 2,000 species [2] of grass-like plants in the family Cyperaceae, commonly known as sedges (or seg, in older books). Other members of the family Cyperaceae are also called sedges, however those of genus Carex may be called true sedges, and it is the most species-rich genus in the family. The study of Carex is known ...
Carex firma forms thick cushions. Its leaves are up to 8 centimetres (3.1 in) long in normal conditions (up to 10 cm or 4 in in moist, sheltered localities), dark green and stiff. [ 1 ] The stems are up to 20 cm (7.9 in) tall (exceptionally 30 cm or 12 in), but always at least twice as long as the leaves.
Carex parviflora, called the small-flowered sedge, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Carex, native to central and southern Europe. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Its chromosome number is 2n=54. [ 4 ]
The rhizomes are slender and reddish-brown, and range from 1–20 mm (0.039–0.787 in) in diameter. The culms of the plant are 5–40 cm (2.0–15.7 in) long and slightly rough. [2] The inflorescences of the plant have both staminate and proximate spikes, with peduncles of staminate spikes 1.9–5.9 mm (0.075–0.232 in) long. [2]

[2] [5] [6] Its diploid chromosome number is 2n=64, with some uncertainty. [7]
The sedge has a tufted habit and is typically 10 to 60 cm (3.9 to 23.6 in) across. It has smooth culms with a triangular cross-section tat are 15 to 70 cm (5.9 to 27.6 in) in length. The yellowish to grenn leaves form from a thin outgrowth at the junction of leafstalk (a ligule).
