  • Question

    Thanks for telling me my sedge belongs to the Cyperaceae. That, I already knew. Sorry for not mentioning that. I was hoping for a genus, and you gave me Cyperus. Do you think that Scleria is also a possibility? Many thanks for your guess of Cyperus. Annette Aiello

    Answer

    Dear AnnetteAiello, good morning. Unfortunately, I simply can't see the details that I need to in order to tell you anymore. The scales/spikelets don't match perfectly for Cyperus, it is the foliage that suggests this. I do wish I could assist you more.
