Carex bostrychostigma, also known as curled-stigma sedge,[2] is a sedge that is found in eastern Russia, eastern and central China, Korea and parts of Japan.[3]
The sedge is ligneous with an elongated rhizome. The sheaths that cover the rhizome fall apart into dark brown fibres. It is composed of densely tufted slender, smooth and trigonous culms which are 20 to 50 cm (7.9 to 19.7 in) in length. The leaves are usually shorter than the culms and have flat and scabrous 3 to 4 mm (0.12 to 0.16 in) wide blades.[1]
