Appearance
"Carex flacca" leaves are blue-green above, glaucous beneath, to 6–12 inches in height. The arching leaves are about as long as the inflorescence, 12–16 inches. The plant spreads in expanding clumps by lateral shoots rooting. Most stems have two male spikes, close together and often looking like one at first glance. Fruits are 2–2.5 millimetres, roundish, with a very short beak, under 0.3 millimetres. They are densely packed on the spike, not loose and gappy like "Carex panicea". Female spikes are approximately 2–4 centimetres long and 4–6 millimetres wide. Female spikes are typically two, and can be short-stalked and upright, or longer-stalked and nodding.References:
