Description Caespitose perennial tufted plant with or without short rhizomes. CULMS 39–90 cm × 0.8–2.0 mm at mid-height, obtusely trigonous, slightly scabrid above; sheaths pale to dark brown. LIGULE 0.75–3.5 mm long, wider than long, rounded or subacute at apex. LEAF blades green to grey green, about three-quarters to as long as culms, widest leaf blades (2)2.25–3.75(4) mm, plicate to flat. INFLORESCENCE oblong, 35–60(75) × 8–10 mm, with 6–11(13) globular-elliptic spikes. The lowest spike sometimes branched and shortly pedunculate, upper spikes single at nodes, sessile, and contiguous, first internode 8–27 mm long, the second one 5–15 mm. BRACTS glume-like, the proximal setaceous, shorter than the inflorescence, 6–30 mm long. FEMALE GLUMES hyaline to golden-yellow, with a midrib green, 3.0–4.5 × 1.6–2.30 mm, ovate or elliptic, apex acuminate 0.15–0.3 mm long. STAMINATE GLUMES 2.75–3.5 × 1.5–2.5 mm, similar to the female. ANTHERS 3, 1.8–3.0 mm long. PERIGYNIUM erect-patent to patent, greenish, body elliptic to ovate, nerveless or faintly veined, 4.5–5.5 × 1.75–2.25(2.5) mm, acute at base, sometimes slightly corky at the base, gradually tapering into a beak. BEAK 0.67–1.25 mm long, white to brown distally, with serrulate winged margins reaching the summit, apex bifid or bidentate, apical teeth 0.3–0.6 mm. ACHENE elliptic to ovate, shining brown, 2.25–3.0 × 1.5–2.1 mm. STIGMAS 2, 2.0–3.0 mm long. [details]

Habitat Carex leersii occurs in areas with a temperate oceanic climate. Although most authors (De Langhe, 1944; Nelmes, 1947; Chater, 1980; Jermy et al., 1982; David & Kelcey, 1985; Clapham et al., 1987; Sell & Murell, 1996) and most of the studied materials indicate that it lives on calcareous or rich soils, other authors, such as Luceño (1994), do not agree. Chabert stated that he sampled his specimens of C. chabertii from "coteaux granitiques de Laveyron, Drôme". Therefore, this taxon is not exclusively calcicolous. We found C. leersii on well-drained, dry-summer soils, in sunny open places, and often in disturbed habitats (ravines or roadsides). [details]
