WHAT DOES SEDGY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

sedgy

Cyperaceae

The Cyperaceae are a family of monocotyledonous graminoid flowering plants known as sedges, which superficially resemble grasses or rushes. The family is large, with some 5,500 species described in about 109 genera, the largest being the Carex genus of "true sedges" with over 2,000 species. These species are widely distributed, with the centers of diversity for the group occurring in tropical Asia and tropical South America. While sedges may be found growing in almost all environments, many are associated with wetlands, or with poor soils. Ecological communities dominated by sedges are known as sedgelands. Features distinguishing members of the sedge family from grasses or rushes are stems with triangular cross-sections and leaves that are spirally arranged in three ranks. Some well-known sedges include the water chestnut and the papyrus sedge, from which the Ancient Egyptian writing material was made. This family also includes cotton-grass, spike-rush, sawgrass, nutsedge or nutgrass, and white star sedge.
