With full respect to Dr. Prasad Ji, I beg to differ. Though *C. cyperoides* (L.) Kuntze can have a single floret in a spikelet, the 3rd glume would have 3 conspicuous green veins (ref. FoC), the same can be seen in Clarke's illustration (no.6) <http://www.plantillustrations.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=207780>. Else there would be more than one floret and thereby nuts. In my species only middle nerve of the glume is green and conspicuous (as can be seen in the illustration no.2 <http://www.plantillustrations.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=207776> ).
So, I would rather go with *C. paniceus* (Rottb.) Boeckeler. Thank you Regards (simply) surajit koley ! no "Sir", no "Dr.", no "Ji" ! On 7 October 2015 at 20:43, J.M.
