Scirpus (Latin for bulrush). Bulrush. Sedge. Cyperaceae. A large group of rush-like or grass-like plants inhabiting the whole globe. Flowers perfect, in spikelets which are solitary, clustered or umbellate; scales spirally arranged; perianth of bristles or none, not enlarged in fr., smooth or barbed, persistent; ovary 1-loculed, with 1 anatropous ovule; style not thickened at the base, 2-3-cleft: fr. an achene with bristles attached. Only a few species are in cult., and these are all perennials (except perhaps the last), suited for shallow water or damp places. The larger are important for use in aquatic gardens. The nomenclature of those in the trade has been very much confused. CH
