ABSTRACT: Carex bromoides Willd.(Cyperaceae) is a widespread and frequent sedge of eastern North America. It belongs to Carex sect. Deweyanae (Tuckerman ex Mac-kenzie) Mackenzie, a group of 4–7 primarily woodland species of eastern Asia and most of North America. Members of sect. Deweyanae are lax, cespitose sedges with setaceous lower bracts, mostly gynecandrous spikes, distigmatic pistillate flowers, and spongy-based, prominently beaked, thick-margined, nonpuncticulate perigynia ascending at maturity.
