A close-up of the inflorescence of Engelmann's sedge as seen at about 6200' near the head of Hellroaring Canyon on Mt. Adams...........August 2, 2009. Note the lack of a conspicuous male portion of the spike at the apex of the inflorescence which helps distinguish this species from the similar Brewer's sedge, Carex breweri.
