Description

C. longii is a perennial graminoid of the Cyperaceae family native to North America. [1]

Distribution

C. longii is native to the eastern United States and up into eastern Canada (Nova Scotia and Ontario), as well as the west coast of the United States. It is also native to Hawaii and Puerto Rico.[1]

Habitat

It can commonly be found in bottomlands, bogs, and low fields.[4] C. longii has also been observed in roadside depressions, ditches, and other disturbed areas, drained ponds, marshes, pond banks, bottomland woodlands, and mixed hardwood swamps. Soils it can grow on include wet sandy loam, wet peaty sand, and dry sand.[5]

Associated species include Sphagnum sp., Juncus sp., Cyperus sp., Paspalum sp., Ptilimnium sp., Hydrocotyle sp., Rhynchospora sp., Osmunda sp., Rhexia mariana, Polygala lutea, Syngonanthus sp., Carex stipata, Carex fissa, Panicum sp., Ascyrum sp., Salix sp., Typha sp., Eryngium prostratum, Hypericum mutilum, Spartina sp., and Sagittaria lancifolia.[5]

Phenology

C. longii has been observed to flower from March to September with peak inflorescence between April and June. [6] Like other species in the Carex genus, it does not have a perianth.[7] This species is also noted to have a tendency of vegetative reproduction.[8]
