Cyperus Sesquiflorus Var. Pluriceps

Common flatsedge, scientifically known as Cyperus sesquiflorus var. pluriceps, is a widespread grass-like plant found in wetland and marshy areas across the globe. It is characterized by its narrow, flat leaves and small, clustered flowers that bloom in the summer months. This plant plays an important role in stabilizing soil and providing habitat for various aquatic and terrestrial organisms. Despite its simple appearance, Common flatsedge has been used in traditional medicine and as a source of thatching in some cultures. Its adaptability to wet conditions makes it a resilient and ecologically significant species.
