Carex dispalata
Curved Utricle Sedge is a clumping, rhizomatous perennial sedge native to wet sites across East Asia and Nepal. It grows best with its roots kept consistently moist, as in a pond margin or bog garden.
Carex dispalata is a species of flowering plant in the sedge family Cyperaceae. It is native to Nepal, Inner Mongolia, north-central and southeastern China, Manchuria, the Korean peninsula, Primorsky Krai, Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands, and Japan. A clumping rhizomatous perennial reaching 40 to 80 cm (16 to 31 in), it is found in wet habitats such as riversides, pond margins, ditches, and marshes at elevations from 500 to 2,900 m (1,600 to 9,500 ft). In Japan it is informally cultivated and used to make bedding and straw hats.
