This is one of the sedges to be found in the Ben Lawers Corrie and so fits the description that its habitat is "where the snow lies late". We also find it lower down than the 3,000 + height of the Corrie and this one was found on the side of Beinn Ghlass at probably a mere 2,800 feet. It is well name the Russet Sedge and is easily recognised with its very dark, round fruits.
