Arrhenatherum Elatius Var. Nodosum

Arrhenatherum elatius var. nodosum is a unique variant of the common wood sedge known for its distinctive nodular stems. This plant thrives in moist, nutrient-rich soils and is often found in wet meadows and along stream banks. Its grass-like appearance makes it easily mistaken for other sedges, but its specialized growth patterns set it apart. The nodules along its stems are not only a distinguishing feature but also play a role in its ecological function. Despite its subtle appearance, this plant is an important component of wetland ecosystems.
