Description

Sedges: Carex is the fourteenth volume of The Illustrated Flora of Illinois series and the sixth and last volume devoted to monocots— plants that have a single seed leaf, or cotyledon, upon germination.

Since the volume’s original publication in 1999, thirty-four additional species of plants have been recognized in Illinois.

For each species of Carex in Illinois, there is a full illustration showing the habit of the plant and close-ups of various vegetative and reproductive structures that are crucial for the identification of the individual species.

There is also a complete description of each species as well as a detailed discussion of the nomenclature and habitats.

Range maps show the county distribution of each species in Illinois.

A new and detailed key is provided for identification of the species.
