Carex albursina, commonly known as the White bear sedge or blunt-scaled wood sedge,[1] is a wide-leaved sedge that typically grows in moist deciduous or mixed woods in eastern North America.[2] It was named after White Bear Lake in east central Minnesota, where it was discovered by Edmund Sheldon in the 1890s.[3] The leaves are 10–38 mm (3⁄8–1+1⁄2 inches) wide and 10–35 cm (4–14 inches) long.[2]
