Some earlier relevant feedback: Thank you very much for sharing. Can you please tell me how to differentiate this one and 1) *Cyperus paniceus* (Rottb.) Boeckeler 2) *Cyperus cyperoides* (L.) O. Kuntze? Regards Surajit One of my earlier upload (https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/ indiantreepix/fYDsMMk5dpY) which seems similar to your species(*Cyperus plateilema (Steud.) Kük.)*. So please confirm and validate. With regard Karuna Kanta Das Dear Santhan Ji, I am afraid your sedge doesn't look like the herbarium found in KEW - 1. http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/detailsQuery.do?barcode=K000321396 2. http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/detailsQuery.do?barcode=K000321397 3. http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/detailsQuery.do?barcode=K000321398 In fact perhaps "*Cyperus plateilema (Steud.) Kük.* (= *Mariscus bulbosus* Steud)," not found in India - http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/185391/0 What we have in India is *Mariscus bulbosus* C.B.Clarke <http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-253608?ref=tpl1> (not of Steud; vide FBI.vi.620) (please check http://www.iucnredlist.org/ details/176908/0 <http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.iucnredlist.org%2Fdetails%2F176908%2F0&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNGKzXZ8lZIN-nhAZiz5AyopaQozUg> for distribution) ..... which is somewhat similar to *Mariscus pictus* Nees <http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-253938> (vide FBI).... I am not sure if your plant can be same. Thank you Regards Surajit Dear surajitji thank you for your comment, Now a days i am not sitting with my dissection microscope. Just with past experience and floral guidance deciding the identity. Nomenclatural changes leads confusion some times. the identity for my image according to our regional flora is *Cyperus clarkei *T.Cooke (= *Mariscus* *bulbosus* C.B.Clarke) You asked the difference between Cyperus paniceus and C. cyperoides. I herewith provided the same. Cyperus paniceus: Spike globose, spikelets many flowered, glumes winged on keel. C. cyperoides : Spikes oblong, spikelets 1 flowered, glumes not winged.- from Santhan ji. The KEY, to identify *C. paniceus* and *C. cyperoides,* is different in the book "Bengal Plants" and in FBI, which does not tally with what you have provided here. I have one post https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ indiantreepix/ylL6rl9fxko. KEW has several herbaria - - *C. paniceus <http://keys.trin.org.au/key-server/data/0e0f0504-0103-430d-8004-060d07080d04/media/Html/taxon/Cyperus_paniceus.htm>* (spike not globose, spikelet one flowered) 1. *http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/detailsQuery.do?barcode=K000592565 <http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/detailsQuery.do?barcode=K000592565>* 2. http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/detailsQuery.do?barcode=K000592564 - *C. cyperoides* (spike not always oblong? spikelet 1 to 3 flowered) 1. http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/detailsQuery.do?barcode=K000362749 2. http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/detailsQuery.do?barcode=K000321389 - *C. clarkei* (I do not know, as per FBI stem 3-8 inch....since your spikes are subcapitate or with short rays it maybe...) 1. http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/detailsQuery.do?barcode=K000290886 2. http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/detailsQuery.do?barcode=K000592556 As for "glumes", "wing", "spikelets", "florets"..... these are all Greek to me and I have never tried to examine them under microscope, for I know I won't understand.
