Carex simulata is a species of sedge known by the common name analogue sedge.
This sedge is native to the western United States and western Canada, where it grows in many types of wet habitat, from mountain meadows to ditches, often in alkaline conditions. In Canada it is native to British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. South of the boarder it grows in all the northwestern states and as far east as North Dakota. In the southwestern US it is not found in Nevada, but is otherwise widespread and grows as far east as New Mexico.
