John Carey

British botanist (1797-1880).

John Carey (1797 – 26 March 1880) was a British botanist who studied in North America between 1830 and 1852. Carey was a "frequent guest and invaluable companion" to Asa Gray. Carey revised Gray's proofs of the first edition of the Manual of the Botany of the Northern United States, also contributing articles on Salix (willows), Populus (poplars), and Carex (sedges). In his obituary, Gray described Carey as "a near and faithful friend, an accomplished botanist, a genial and warm-hearted and truly good man." John Carey described several species, primarily in the genus Carex, including Carex gra

Carex grayi (Gray's Sedge) J.Carey 1847
perennial plant species in the cyperaceae family
Carex grayi, commonly known as Gray's sedge, is a species of flowering plant in the sedge family, Cyperaceae. It is native to eastern North America.
Carex platyphylla (Broad-leaved Sedge) J.Carey 1847
perennial plant species in the cyperaceae family
Carex platyphylla, called the broad leaf sedge and silver sedge, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Carex, native to southeast Canada, and the north-central and eastern United States. It is often found in the same forests as Carex plantaginea, also a broad-leaved species, but they do not compete, as C. plantaginea prefers wet areas and C. platyphylla prefers it dry. Silver sedge is considered a useful native ornamental, since it is showy, deer-resistant, and able to tolerate both deep shade and drought once established.

It is endemic to the state of New Jersey in the United States, where it occurs naturally in the Pine Barrens. Reports have cited it present in Delaware as well, but these populations appear to have been introduced. It is threatened by the destruction and degradation of its habitat. It is a federally listed threatened species of the United States. This perennial sedge produces clumps of very narrow, triangular stems lined with thin leaves. Inflorescences occur at the tips and on the sides of the
