Shingle flatsegde (Cyperus imbricatus)

Description

A highly polymorphous species[451 ]. This species is closely allied to Cyperus exaltatus, from which it is sometimes difficult to be distinguished, as both are very polymorphous. Cyperus exaltatus is often more robust, its spikes are less dense and peduncled, and the glumes more closely imbricate[451 ].
