  • Question

    Broad Cove Marsh, dighton, ma

    Answer

    mary0912, it is a species of tuber-bulrush (genus Bolboschoenus). I can't tell you which one with any confidence because I need to see a number of other features to determine the species. It looks much like Bolboschoenus robustus (sea-coast tuber-bulrish), but that is a hypothesis based on the spikelet shape and inflorescence architexture.
