Description
This image displays an Inflated Sedge (*Carex vesicaria*), a herbaceous wetland plant, not a woody bonsai specimen. It exhibits characteristic grass-like foliage and prominent male (upper, brown) and female (lower, green, spiky) flower spikes. While not a bonsai, its natural upright growth habit is loosely categorized as informal-upright to fit the required schema.
