Cyperus compressus in FoI looks like Cyperus niveus Retz.

One of FB friend from Indian Flora ID it as Cyperus compressus L., and looks close 
according to the  net images. Any further opinion please ?  

Yes it’s compressus …, as per mine,


Yes. looks more like Cyperus compressus as the spikelets are more digitate on the cluster.

Cyperus seen growing wild on the mountain slopes in Lonavala on 16/9/2010.


Since i do not know technicalities my process is alternative finding. First i note what species can be found in my area, thereafter some gross character like habitat, height etc. Then i try finer detail.
Flora of British India describes some 61 Cyperus, add to this figure Pycreus & Juncellus. This makes it nearly impossible.
Since … plant is from Maharashtra, first i need a “Bengal Plants” like book, thereafter other characters.


May I request you to pl. post a high res. image.



Here it is..
1 high res. images.

Can be Cyperus compressus L.

Hooghly : might be Cyperus cuspidatus H. B. & K. : Attachments (12). 4 posts by 2 authors.
The most remarkable feature of this small cyperus (1 to 2.5 inches) is its very long bracts.


I think it is Cyperus cuspidatus Kunth. and I may very well be wrong.
6 images.


Yes, Sir, I think it is most probably Cyperus cuspidatus Kunth, as in –


This one also can be Cyperus compressus L. Not C. cuspidatus which have digitately arranged spikelets.
