Sedge Buster Part 2 Cyperus Lesson 6

All righty then sedge busters. This one is just for fun. The picture adjoining perhaps shows Cyperus elegans achenes. These achenes are black and covered by what looks like snake skin. Also, you may see several stamens still attached to the achenes. The stamen (male sex organ)attachment is at the base of the achenes. C. elegans, especially its infloresence, is sticky to the touch (stickiness not pictured). It is a fairly large flat sedge mostly inhabiting sandy areas of the coastal plain in Texas.
