This one is also growing in the same pool of rain water, in front of our school.   Hooghly – interesting Cyperus difformis L. ! : Attachments (2). 3 posts by 2 authors. This seems to be Cyperus difformis L., not the usual one what can be found frequently. While recording i thought it could be another, something like difformis !
FoNA informs, “longest bract erect or nearly so, appearing as continuation of culm” and “when rays short heads sessile or nearly so“.
FoP informs, “inflorescence of 1-7 globose …”
Or, is another? I think this is also Cyperus difformis L., provided my earlier uploads in he linked eFI site are also Cyperus difformis L.
