Cyperus pseudothyrsiflorus explained
Cyperus pseudothyrsiflorus is a plant species native to Nuevo León, New Mexico and Texas,[1] [2] [3] It occurs in cultivated fields and other disturbed areas at elevations of less than 1000 m (3400 feet).[4]
Cyperus pseudothyrsiflorus is a perennial herb spreading by underground rhizomes. Stems are triangular in cross-section, up to 40 cm (16 inches) tall.[4]
It is a member of Cyperus, subgenus Cyperus, section Umbellati.[5] It was first formally described as a new variety of C. uniflorus by Georg Kükenthal in 1937,[6] but was promoted to an independent species in 1997.[5] It is very similar to C. uniflorus,[5] [7] which is now known as C. retroflexus.[5]
