Family Common Name: Sedge
Scientific Name: Carex rossii
Common Name: Ross Sedge
General Distribution: Dry forest and meadows; 7,000-10,000 feet.
Propagation Goal: cuttings
Propagation Method: seed
ProductType: Container (plug)
Time To Grow: 0
Propagule Collection: Collected in the Yosemite National Park.
Propagule Processing: EASE OF COLLECTION: Datanot available at the Lockeford Plant Materials Center.
METHOD OF CLEANING: Data not available at the Lockeford Plant Materials Center.
TYPE OF MATERIAL COLLECTED FOR PROPAGATION: Seed, plant division.
PROPAGATION METHOD: Division propagation was started in January. Plant was divided into 3 or 4, and divisions were then placed into cold frame for 7 days and afterwards moved into lathhouse. Those divisions planted with the crown below soil surface level had the greatest fatality rate.
NUMBER OF SEEDS PER POUND: Quantitative values for seed/lb. could not be found.
PERCENT GERMINATION: Quantitative values for seed germination could not be found.
Pre-Planting Treatments: PRETREATMENT USED: Divisions were placed into Vitamin B-1 solution for 15 minutes to help prevent transplant shock. Seed: none.
Growing Area Preparation/
Annual Practices for Perennial Crops:
METHOD OF GROWING: Collection and reestablishment were carried out by Yosemite National Park; data not available at the Lockeford Plant Materials Center.
Harvesting, Storage and Shipping: SEED MATURITY DATE: Quantitative values for date of maturity, etc. could not be found.

STORAGE REQUIREMENTS: Longevity of seed unknown. No known special stor-age requirements.
