Gravel roadsides, introduced from farther west, collected in Berrien Co. by K. Dritz in 1994.

This resembles a small version of Carex praegracilis, but the inflorescences are uniformly bisexual, not pistillate or staminate. It is typically in drier sites than those preferred by Carex praegracilis.
