Parkhill CA Woodland Sedges (near Parkhill) with Anton Reznicek on Saturday, June 1st 2019 (9:00am)
This is a very rich area for sedges, and between Parkhill and some nearby sites, we should be able to see a substantial complement of woodland sedges including uncommon southern species like Carey’s Sedge (Carex careyana), Drooping Sedge (C. prasina), Emory’s Sedge (C. emoryi), Hitchcock’s Sedge (C. hitchcockiana), etc., as well many more common species. Besides identification, we will also look at characteristics of sedge groups and sections, and field characters that will help identifications of living plants, as well as some of the ecological aspects of sedge occurrence. Of course, there will also be a nice assortment of rich deciduous forest understory flora, so we’ll see, in fruit, species such as Twinleaf (Jeffersonia diphylla), and many more common ephemerals.
