Carex festucacea

Carex festucacea

"Carex festucacea" or Fescue sedge is a rare sedge found "along the Bur Oak Prairie edge, at Longe Grove Forest Preserve - a soft, gray green, wisp, to 2', with narrow leaves and somewhat taller stems, topped by an interrupted spike, with lower spikelets, shaped a bit like an overflowing ice cream cone. The spike axis is often arched at the summit, but the alternating spikelets around the axis, create a zig zag appearance. The seed sacs have a humped shoulder." [Young, Dick. "Kane County Wild Plants & Natural Areas". 2nd Ed. 1994]
