Carex caespititia, also known as cong sheng tai cao,[1] is a tussock-forming species of perennial sedge in the family Cyperaceae. It is native to parts of Asia from Assam in northern India in the west to central China in the east.[2]
The sedge has a long rhizome and slender culms with a triangular cross-section that are 15 to 20 cm (5.9 to 7.9 in) that have a rough texture above. The green leaves are usually shorter than the culms and have a linear blade with a width of 3 to 4 mm (0.12 to 0.16 in) with rough margins.[3]
The species was first described by the botanist Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees von Esenbeck in 1834 as a part of the Robert Wight work Contributions to the Botany of India.[1]
