| Comments | "The first North American records for C. disticha, a Eurasian sedge known from swamps, wet meadows and prairies, and fens, are from Belleville, Ontario, in 1866 (Fernald 1942, Catling et al. 1988). Although it was originally thought to be native at this site, Catling et al. (1988) noted that the population is probably non-indigenous. Since this early record, the plant has been recorded from several locations, including Iles de Boucherville near Montreal, Quebec, in 1927, 1929, and 1940 and at Collingwood in Simcoe County, Ontario, in 1972 (Catling et al. 1988, Fernald 1942)." |
