Scirpus
''Scirpus'' is a genus of grass-like species in the sedge family Cyperaceae many with the common names club-rush, wood club-rush or bulrush. They mostly inhabit wetlands and damp locations. Description ''Scirpus'' are rhizomatous perennial herbs, with 3-angled stems and flat grass-like leaves. The flowers are in clusters of small spikelets, often brown or greenish brown. Some species (e.g. '' S. lacustris'') can reach a height of , while '' S. sylvaticus'' is about and others, such as '' S. supinus'', are much smaller, only reaching tall. Taxonomy The taxonomy of the genus is complex, and under review by botanists. Recent studies by taxonomists of the Cyperaceae have resulted in the creation of several new genera, including the genera ''Schoenoplectus'' and ''Bolboschoenus''; others (including '' Blysmus'', '' Isolepis'', '' Nomochloa'', and '' Scirpoides'') have also been used. At one point this genus held almost 300 species, but many of the species once assigned to it have ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Scirpus Ancistrochaetus
''Scirpus ancistrochaetus'' is a rare species of flowering plant in the sedge family known by the common names barbedbristle bulrush and northeastern bulrush.

Scirpus Flaccidifolius
''Scirpus flaccidifolius'', the reclining bulrush, is an uncommon plant species endemic to a small region in Virginia and North Carolina. It is reported from only six populations in three counties in Virginia ( Greensville, Sussex and Southampton) and one county in North Carolina (Northampton). All known populations are within 100 km of each other, though the species does not seem to be in danger of extinction. ''Scirpus flaccidifolius'' is unusual in the genus in having culms (flowering stalks) that lean against other vegetation instead of being stiff and erect. The species also has wider but less numerous spikelet A spikelet, in botany, describes the typical arrangement of the inflorescences of grasses, sedges and some other monocots.

Scirpus Sylvaticus
''Scirpus sylvaticus'', the wood clubrush, is a species of flowering plant in the sedge family. ''Scirpus sylvaticus'' can reach 1 m, and has triangular stems. ''S. sylvaticus'' widespread in Eurasia, is very common in the European part of Russia and in Southern Siberia. It is most often a coastal species, occurring in wet habitat such as marshes in brackish and saltwater, along swamps, along the banks of water bodies, in marshy forests and in wet meadows. It is a perennial herb growing from a rhizome system with associated tubers. This plant is an important food source for waterfowl. The seeds are food for birds and other animals, such as muskrat The muskrat or common muskrat (''Ondatra zibethicus'') is a medium-sized semiaquatic rodent native to North America and an introduced species in parts of Europe, Asia, and South America.

Scirpus Atrovirens
''Scirpus atrovirens'', known as dark-green bulrush, is a perennial Cyperaceae, sedge native to wetlands of eastern Canada and the United States. It is sometimes called dark green bulsedge, black bulrush, or green bulrush. ''Scirpus atrovirens'' grows in a wide variety of wetland habitats, typically in sunny areas rather than shady. It can be found in wet meadows and shrubby thickets, openings in swamps, marshes, shorelines, as well as roadside ditches. The plant can grow up to five feet tall, and thrives in Hardiness zone, hardiness zones 3–9. It is closely related to ''Scirpus hattorianus'' and ''Scirpus georgianus'', with mature fruits necessary for accurate identification.
