- Other different sedge species also grow on the sedge moor, such as hoary sedge, grass-like sedge and hair-like sedge, and if it is very wet, both Lyngbye's sedge and cottongrass find their way into the black sedge's domain.

- Veruleg auking varð einnig á þekju belgjastarar og blávinguls, en hann var eina grastegundin sem jók útbreiðslu sína að einhverju marki.
