The sedge grew in dense clumps along the edge of the pond, its tall stems swaying gently in the breeze.
The botanist carefully identified the sedge as a species of Carex, noting its distinctive leaf shape and flower spikelets.
The wet meadow was dominated by a variety of sedges, which provided a habitat for numerous species of birds and insects.
As the water level in the marsh dropped, the sedge began to turn a golden brown, signaling the end of the growing season.
The hikers had to push through a thick stand of sedge to reach the shore of the lake, where they could see a family of ducks swimming in the water.
