Image:Carex vesicaria herbarium specimen from Loch a Garbh Bhaid Bhig, VC108 West Sutherland in 1932.
fruits/flowers:mature flowers
notes:The involute leaves and occasional sessile spikelets suggest var. borealis Hartm. (see BEC Rep. 1910, p. 509) but Lindman (1926) seems to think this is the hybrid with C. rotundata - which does not appear to be British.

Inferred details are marked.
