Carex demonstrator key - worldwide
LSU Interactive Identification Keys - North America, Central America, Europe
Ontario Grasses - Ontario, Canada
Identifying Australian Rainforest Plants,Trees and Fungi: Sedges - Australia

Perennial herbs. Culms triangular or rarely rounded. Leaves with prominent long leaf sheaths. Inflorescence usually composed of several cylindric spikes but (in spicato-paniculata) consisting of 1-2 pyramidal panicles arising from upper leaf sheaths. Flowers unisexual, in unisexual or bisexual spikes. In this genus, in addition to the normal glume subtending the flower, the female flowers are enclosed within a utricle, which is beaked above and broad below and hence shaped something like a bottle. Ovary with 2-3 stigmas protruding from the beak at the tip of the utricle. Male flowers with usually 3 stamens.

Herbs perennial, rarely annual. Rhizomatous; rarely stoloniferous as in Carex section Ovales. Culms trigonous; may be terete at nodes. Blades M to V to flat in cross section, rarely filiform,involute, or terete; pubescent or not. Inflorescences terminal; in racemes, spikes or panicles. Spikes consisting of unisexual flowers usually subtended by a single bract or scale. Sexuality of spikes variable. Pistillate flowers have a scale fused at edges forming the perigynium; a structure encasing the pistillate flower with an aperature for the style. Style two to three branched, rarely four; deciduous to persistent. Stamens, one to three. Achenes varied in cross section to plano-convex, biconvex to trigonous.
