Field Guide to the Sedges of the Pacific Northwest is an
illustrated guide to all 169 species, subspecies, and varieties in
the genus Carex that grow in the wild in Oregon and Washington.
Most of these species are found throughout the Pacific Northwest
and California. This updated second edition includes eight
additional species documented in the region since the guide was
first published, along with an improved identification key, updated
nomenclature and taxonomy, revised range maps, and improved
illustrations.
Sedges can be difficult to identify, with differences between
species based on small, technical characters. This comprehensive
guide contains identification keys, descriptions, more than 650
color photographs, and distribution maps for each species,
providing users with helpful tools and tips for identifying the
plants in this challenging group. Information about sedge ecology,
habitat, management and restoration, ethnobotanical uses, and
propagation enhances the guide's utility.
Field Guide to the Sedges of the Pacific Northwest provides an
invaluable resource for botanists, land managers, restoration
ecologists, and plant enthusiasts. And, as the genus Carex becomes
increasingly important amongst landscapers, nurseries, and
gardeners, the guide will serve as a handy tool for choosing
Northwest natives for the garden.
