Carex abscondita, the thicket sedge, is a North American species of sedge first described by Kenneth Mackenzie in 1910.[1][2] It grows along the central and eastern United States, from eastern Texas to southern Missouri, east to the Atlantic coast, and north to New Hampshire.[3] It grows in moist areas of forests, shrublands, and swamps.[4]
It is closely related to and sometimes confused with Carex digitalis, which, compared to Carex abscondita, has longer flowering stems relative to the leaves, wider staminate spikes, and often has thinner leaves.[4]
