These grass-like plants, found mostly in wetlands, are increasingly popular with landscapers and home gardeners. Learning to identify sedges is challenging, however, and the available technical guides to the sedge family can be overwhelming to a nonspecialist. \u003ci\u003eField Guide to Wisconsin Sedges \u003c\/i\u003eis a beautifully illustrated introduction to the largest sedge genus, \u003ci\u003eCarex, \u003c\/i\u003e which alone makes up about 7 percent of the flora of the upper Midwest. Written primarily for naturalists, wild plant enthusiasts, and native landscapers, this book is unique in its accessible format and illustrations. With this book, readers can learn to recognize key structures needed to identify approximately 150 \u003ci\u003eCarex \u003c\/i\u003especies found in Wisconsin. Author Andrew Hipp shows how to identify many of the major groupings of sedges that are used in guides to the genus throughout the world. \u003ci\u003eFi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eeld Guide to Wisconsin Sedges\u003c\/i\u003e includes information on habitat and range drawn from Hipp's extensive field experience and inspection of thousands of herbarium sheets.
