A grass and two sedges and an unknown

[leifus]

1 a grass found in a calcareous meadow...sweet vernal grass?



2 a sedge - young false-fox sedge?



3 a sedge found in very damp peaty soil in the New Forest



4 found in calcareous woodland

The 'unknown' (4) is Enchanter's-nightshade, Circaea lutetiana

ahh yes thanks

1. Yes, Sweet Vernal-grass

2. What habitat was this growing in? It doesn't look like False Fox-sedge. Maybe Prickly Sedge or one of several similar ones.

3. Can't really see enough detail from the picture - but maybe Carnation Sedge

[leifus]

Carex panicea

the other sedge was growing...

on calcareous soil
on a roadside verge
in fairly dry conditions

hope that helps

prickly sedge is quite rare isn't it?

Prickly Sedge is frequent in some areas - but not on calcareous soils.

Your plant is most likely Grey Sedge (Carex divulsa)
