Description
Where the blade meets the culm is a structure called a ligule.[4] Carexs Care leaves can be green, red, or brown, and are “thin and hair-like, sometimes with a prominent, wavy median and sometimes the blade is quite broad with sharp edges.”[6]The defining structure of the genus Caryx is the bottle-shaped bract surrounding each female flower.
This structure is called a perigynium or utricle, a modified profile. It is usually enlarged into a “rostrum” or beak, which is often divided into two teeth at the tip (bifid).[7] The shape of the perigynium, venation, and vest (hair) are important in distinguishing carex care species. There are structures.The fruit of Carix is an indehiscent, dry, single-seeded achene or nutlet[4] that grows within the peregnium.

Carexs Care and Uses Environment and distribution
Carex species are found throughout most of the world, although there are a few species in tropical lowlands and relatively few in sub-Saharan Africa.[5] Most (but not all) sedges are found in wetlands, such as swamps, calcareous bogs, peatlands and other mires, ponds and stream banks, riparian areas and even ditches.[7] It is arctic and alpine tundra, and 50 cm (20 in) are one of the dominant plant groups in wetlands with water depths up to .[5]

Taxonomy and cytogenetics
Carex is divided into subgenera in several ways. The most influential was the classification of Georg Kükenthal which used four subgenera: Carex, Vignea, Indocarex and Primocarex, based primarily on the arrangement of the male and female flowers.[5] The status of these four groups has been a matter of considerable debate, with some species moving between groups and some authors, such as Kenneth Kent Mackenzie, omitting subgenera altogether and dividing the genus directly into sections.
For Janice now Divided into about four subgenera, some of which, however, may not be monophyletic:[12] Carex subgenus Carex – 1450 species, worldwide distribution[13]Carex subgenus Xylophora (Deagle) petrum. (equivalent to “Primocarex” of Kükenthal) – 70 species[12] Carex subg. Vignea (P. Beauv. ex T. Lestib.) Peterm. – 350 species, cosmopolitan [13]Carex subg. Vigneastra (Tuckerman) Kükenthal (equivalent to “Indocarex” of Kükenthal[12]) – 100 species, tropical and subtropical Asia

Uses
Cultivars of Carex elata ‘Aurea’ (Bowles’ Golden Sedge) [19] and Carex oshimensis ‘Evergold’ [20] have received the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.

Cares Care and Other Uses
A mixture of dried specimens of various Carex species (including Carex vesicaria) has a history of being used as thermal insulation in shoes (such as the nitokas used by the Sami people [21]). Sinegrass is one of the names for such compounds.
Uso por los nativos americanos
Los Blackfoot ponen carex en moccasines para protegerse los pies durante el invierno.[27] Los Cherokee usan una infusion de la hoja para “controlar los intestinos”.[28] Los Ohlone usan las raíces de muchas especies para cestería.[29] Los Goshute usan la raiz como medicina.[30] Los Jemez consider la planta sagrada y la usan en el kiva.[31]
El pueblo Klamath teje las hojas en esteras, usa el juice de la medula como bebida, como los tallos frescos como alimento y usa la base tuberosa del tallo como alimento.[32] Los indígenas del condado de Mendocino, California, usan los portainjertos para hacer cestas ycuerdas.[33] Los indígenas de Montana también tejen las hojas en esteras y usa los tallos jóvenes como alimento.[34] Los Navajo de Kayenta, Arizona, muelen las semillas en papilla y las comen.[35] Los Paiute de Oregón lo jen para hacer cucharas.[36] Los pomo utilizán las raíces para hacer cestas,[37][38] y las utilizán para tender trapas de pesca.
[39] También las utilizán para hacer torchas.[39] Los salish de la costa use las hojas para hacer cestas y cordeles.[40] Los songhees comen las hojas para provocare abortos.[40] Los nlaka’pamux use the leaves as brushes to clean things and use the leaves as fodder for your ganado.[41] Los wailaki weave roots and leaves in baskets and use leaves to weave esters.[42] El pueblo yuki utiliza las raices grandes para hacer cestas.[43]
