Any idea about SK210NOV19-2016:ID ??

It is Scleria sp. belongs to the Cyperaceae

But which one? Is my guess correct?

Scleria sp. of Cyperaceae

Please check Scleria levis or Scleria latifolia

Scleria latifolia looks good but could not confirm!

Scleria latifolia is not listed in Nepal.

Scleria

May be Scleria terrestris. But I need a specimen to confirm the identification.
