Carex limosa is a species of sedge found in peat bogs in mountains across North America and northern Eurasia. It has a large rhizome and hairy roots, and a stem which is generally just under half a meter in height. The stem has a few basal leaves which are long and threadlike, and the tip of the stem is often occupied by a staminate spikelet. Below this hang one or more nodding pistillate spikelets, and some spikelets may have both male and female parts. Each fruit is a few millimeters long and spade-shaped.
