Name: Carex pellita Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This plant association occurs along stream channels, and in depressions and swales along floodplains at low to moderate elevations in the western U.S. from Washington to Montana south to Oregon, Utah, and Colorado. It also has been reported from British Columbia, Canada. These wetlands form small to medium-sized meadows. Carex pellita (= Carex lanuginosa), a distinctive wetland-indicator species, clearly dominates stands with 30-80% cover. Low species diversity, with few associates having high constancy, is characteristic. Deschampsia caespitosa, Carex microptera, Carex nebrascensis, Carex simulata, Carex praegracilis, Elymus glaucus, Juncus balticus, Schoenoplectus pungens (= Scirpus pungens), Equisetum arvense, and Equisetum hyemale are sometimes present with low cover. On the eastern plains of Colorado, it can occur under a canopy of cottonwood trees, forming Populus deltoides / Carex pellita Woodland (CEGL002649).  Accession Code: VB.CC.25036.CAREXPELLITAHER Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
