Family Common Name: Sedge
Scientific Name: Carex rossii
Common Name: Ross Sedge
General Distribution: Dry forest and meadows; 7,000-10,000 feet.
Propagation Goal: cuttings
Propagation Method: seed
ProductType: Container (plug)
Time To Grow: 0
Propagule Collection: Collected in the Yosemite National Park.
Propagule Processing: EASE OF COLLECTION: Datanot available at the Lockeford Plant Materials Center.
METHOD OF CLEANING: Data not available at the Lockeford Plant Materials Center.
TYPE OF MATERIAL COLLECTED FOR PROPAGATION: Seed, plant division.
