Carex subfusca, variously called the rusty slender sedge, rusty sedge, or brown sedge, is a species of flowering plant in the family Cyperaceae, native to the Hawaiian Islands, the western United States, and Baja California.[1][2] It is surmised that it came to Hawaii by being deposited by a bird (epizoochory).[3]
