Yes. looks more like <\/span>Cyperus compressus<\/i> as the spikelets are more digitate on the cluster.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.
\n<\/span>Flora of British India describes some 61 <\/span>Cyperus<\/i>, add to this figure <\/span>Pycreus <\/i>& <\/span>Juncellus<\/i>. This makes it nearly impossible.
\n<\/span>Since … plant is from Maharashtra, first i need a “Bengal Plants” like book, thereafter other characters.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nThe most remarkable feature of this small cyperus (1 to 2.5 inches) is its very long bracts.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I think it is <\/span>Cyperus cuspidatus<\/i> Kunth. and I may very well be wrong.
