Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
Carex verrucosa are sedges almost restricted to wet savanna communities.[1] Thrives in wetland depressions in the southeastern coastal plain.[2]. This species is found in sphagnum bogs in pine woods depressions, cypress ponds, and sweetbay-titi swamps. It is tolerant a range of light levels, from shady to sunny. It grows in sandy loam and peaty soils that are wet to saturated. Also found in roadside ditches (FSU Herbarium).
Phenology
Flowering has been observed in March through June, and also in October (FSU Herbarium).
