User's notes

I’m trying to differentiate with brownii which I identified on the eastern side of AB. This one is on the western side. I’m now thinking curvula because of the height of the plant. Brownii is 11-60 cm tall and this one is taller.

E. brownii has a very small, flat tussock that is a bright green colour. E. curvula has a larger blueish colour tussock with leaf blades often curling near the tips. I can't really describe how the spikelets differ, but I guess E. curvula looks uglier while E. brownii looks a bit more delicate?
