Feedback in another thread :
This one looks different to the plants in- http://floridagrasses.org/cyperus_esculentus.htm and in
I am very confused for this one. Because, the 2nd photo looks very similar to one that i have in my hand, in a field guide (rather a booklet without much detail) in Bengali, which is labelled as MADUR-KATHI = Cyperus malaccensis Lam.
But i may very well be wrong with what i see in my book and the most important is i do not know if it can be found in Maharashtra.
Many thanks … for resurfacing this ID query; and thanks …for your thoughts. Agreeing about the doubt of C. malaccensis being found distributed in Maharashtra (in this case – northern region of Konkan / Western Ghats). Perhaps … had passed this query for want of required aspects.
Most of the Cyperaceae members cannot be identified from the photographs. One need to study the specimens under microscope.
