Umbrella Flatsedge (Cyperus diandrus)
Description
Umbrella flatsedge is found on moist to wet, sandy or peaty shorelines throughout New England. Its spikes are distinctive for the fact that the scales are outlined in a rust-colored pigment, but the interior part of the scale is not colored. This gives the spikes a herringbone quality.
