Rosy sedge (Carex rosea) is known to have similar appearances to that of grasses. This plant tolerates a variety of environments, and even though Carex rosea is considered a weed, it can be cultivated for lands. Carex rosea has spiky leaves that grow in clusters. The styles of this plant, the stalk connecting the stigma to the ovary, are very distinctively curled, which helps to differentiate this species from the rest.
Introduction
Rosy sedge, also called Carex rosea, Carex concoluta, and Carex flaccidula is a sedge that forms part of the Caperaceae family, which belongs to the major flowering plant group. It is native to eastern North America and it exists in wet to dry soils. Carex rosea can be found in shores of streams and bottomlands, as well as ponds. It is known to have great adaptations to dry-shade locations. .
Description
Carex rosea flowers in the spring and it has evergreen leaves. The stigmas range from 0.07-0.10 millimeters thick , while the leaves are almost 1/8" wide. The spikelets found in the plant are widely spread rather than clustered together, and the culms consist of about 4-8 of them. Different sections of the spikelets consist of different parts. They look green because of the presence of 7-14 spreading perigynia. The overall average height is about 1 inch tall.
Taxonomy
Carex rosea consist of four different species. Most of them found mainly in Canada. While some characters seem to be unrelibale for the separation of each species. Other characters, like the width of the broadest leaves, the shape of the perigynium base, and the fertile culms, are reliable. Different analysis of the mixed populations have concluded that hybridization between the species does not occur. The Kingdom of Carex roseae is plantae.The rank of Carex rosea consists on the following, the subkingdom is tracheobionta, which means that it is part of the vascular plants. The superdivision of Carex rosea is spermatophyta, also known as seed plants. The division of this plant is magnoliophyta, which is flowering plants. This plant belongs to the class called liliopsida which means monocotyledons. The subclass of Carex rosea is commelinidae, and finally the order is cyperales. .
Distribution and Habitat
Carex rosea has a distribution that goes from south to Georgia, Louisiana, and Oklahoma, basically all around North America. It's habitat is in dry- moist woodlands. It can adapt to various soil types and it can also live in rich ravines, and wood edges .
Ecology
Since Caarex rosea is a monocot, it takes the plant to complete its life cycle a little more than two years. This plant is mostly confused with Carex radiata. Even thought this occurs, habitats have also been a great guidance to decide which one is which, just like the different characteristics of each plant. However, it may take a long time to make observations in order to see the maturity of the plant to fully say that it is what's being described .
Culture
Many times the plants that have already been established are highly drought tolerant. Carex rosea is unappetizing to deer and other herbivores. It is recommended for the plant to be cut to the before the winter season starts. That way new growth for Carex rosea will be provided, if kept at gardens .
Conservation Status
No potential threats seem to appeared for Carex rosea. It widely distributes in the area it is found. The adaptation status allows the plant to survive in almost any condition, not including winter. .
