Carex grisea, the wood gray sedge or inflated narrow-leaf sedge, is a widespread species of flowering plant in the family Cyperaceae, native to eastern Canada and the central and eastern United States.[1][2] It resembles and co‑occurs with Carex amphibola in alluvial areas in forests, but where they co‑occur, Carex grisea is usually found in sandier, more alkaline soils.[3]
