The classification of plants results in an organized system for the naming and cataloging of future specimens, and ideally reflects scientific ideas about inter-relationships between plants. The set of rules and recommendations for formal botanical nomenclature, including plants, is governed by the International Code of Nomenclature for algae ...
Carex ornithopoda, called the bird's foot sedge, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Carex, native to most of Europe, and Anatolia.
Carex unilateralis is a low-growing, perennial, tussock-forming rhizomatous plant with a compact flower head. [4] Bracts grow from 35–75 cm in height, and exceed the leaves in length. [5] Leaves measure 2–3 mm in width. Inflorescence is generally angled to one side of the culm, making this species relatively easy to identify. [6]
