Common Yellow Sedge

I keyed this out to Common  Yellow Sedge and a couple of people agreed (including a BSBI expert). It is particularly diminutive, growing as it does in closely cropped turf in the Ashdown Forest. It's Latin binomial is Carex demissa.

Sea Club-Rush

This is Sea Club-Rush growing at Blackpill on Swansea Bay. It's binomial is Bolboschoenus maritimus. It likes brackish environments and has two distinctive leaf-like bracts, one considerably longer than the other. The corners of the triangular stems (sedge family) are scabrid (great word).
Meant to post yesterday but traveled to Budapest and got distracted.
