I guess not all sedges have edges 🤔 #Chorizandra enodis growing in the many creek lines on their way to Lake Leschenaultia! I love these
Odd species of the #Cyperaceae! This species is widespread and loves these creek lines and seepage areas!
The Inuit people have the best names and uses for cottongrass. The flowers can be made into boot insoles or used to absorb gunk like gauze or cotton swabs do. Their common names include terms that mean "imitation mittens" and "looks like snow geese."

Lest you think broadleaf plants are the only seed dispersal cheaters, here’s Gahnia clarkei (📷: Greg Tasney CCCBYSA4). It’s a sedge that produces shiny, hard fruits that frugivorous birds cannot digest. #Cyperaceae #dispersal #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Exploring the Harvard University Herbaria today! Digging into their rich botanical collections & for a project on the impacts of global change on sedges #Cyperaceae 💚
Found a nice population of 200+ Carex x elytroides today. I didn't find C. nigra yet but C. acuta was also abuntant.

Photo of the heads of this sedge. Each one is subtended by white, linear bracts.
We usually think of Cyperaceae as having small, wind-pollinated flowers, but Rhynchospora latifolia has gone in for insect pollination via pseudanthia. The showy, white bits subtending the spikelets are bracts. #pseudanthia #Cyperaceae #botany 🌾🧪🌱
Did you know there is a #SoutheastAsia project for #Cyperaceae on @inaturalist.bsky.social? If you want to contribute, upload your pictures and they will be automatically added whenever you spot a sedge🧐🌾Let's speed up sedge knowledge for such a biodiverse region!
