Scirpus Pallidus
''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 now ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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.

Scirpus Grossus
''Actinoscirpus'' is a monospecific genus in the family Cyperaceae which contains only the species ''Actinoscirpus grossus'', the greater club rush. It is found across East and South Asia and is known in China as , ''rumput menderong'' in Malaysian, and ''kasheruka'' within Ayurvedic medicine, which uses the tubers as an antiemetic and treatment for liver and digestive diseases. It is a perennial plant that grows rapidly with long rhizomes that end in small tubers. ''A. grossus'' is considered a "principal" weed of rice in some Southeast Asian countries. It is abundant in swampy or inundated areas, such as marshes and ditches, and is capable of dominating wetlands and rice patties. It is also a host of ''Chilo polychrysus'', the dark-headed rice borer. Description Stands of greater club rush grow to lengths of 1.5 to 2 meters. It grows well in both inundated lands and areas with flooding. Individuals grow in colonies with 10 to 15 centimeters between stems. The tight spacing o ...

Scirpus Georgianus
''Scirpus georgianus'', or Georgia bulrush, is a flowering plant in the family Cyperaceae that grows in much of the eastern half of North America. Its habitat is wet marshy field areas prone to seasonal flooding. It was described by Roland McMillan Harper. It is sometimes confused with ''Scirpus hattorianus ''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.

Scirpus Fluviatilis
''Bolboschoenus fluviatilis'', the river bulrush, is a species of flowering plant in the sedge family, Cyperaceae. Its range includes Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia, Canada, the United States, and northeastern Mexico. ''B. fluviatilis'' and its fruits are important as food sources for waterfowl such as geese, ducks, bitterns, and swans. It also provides cover and nesting sites for these and other species of birds, as well as small mammals. Like other Bolboschoenus species, ''B. fluviatilis'' has strong tubers and rhizomes which help to stabilize intertidal habitats by preventing erosion. Habitat River bulrush can be found in fresh water or brackish water marshes, and in the quiet waters of streams and lakes. It has been shown to propagate and flourish in a wide variety of water depths, but produces the most biomass in shallowly flooded conditions. ''B. fluviatilis'', and other bulrush species, are threatened by pollution, habitat destruction, and competition from invasive ...

Scirpus Fluitans
''Isolepis fluitans'' (Synonym (taxonomy), syn. ''Scirpus fluitans''), the floating scirpus, is a species of flowering plant in the Cyperaceae, sedge family. It is native to Africa, Australasia, Europe, and the Pacific islands. It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, and later transferred to ''Isolepis'' by the botanist Robert Brown (botanist, born 1773), Robert Brown in 1810.

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 Diffusus
''Scirpus diffusus'' is a species of flowering plant in the sedge family known by the common name umbrella bulrush. It is endemic to California, where it can be found in several of the high mountain ranges from the Klamath Mountains to the Sierra Nevada. It grows in wetland habitat and other moist areas, such as mountain meadows. It is similar to '' Scirpus congdonii'' and was described from herbarium specimens once mislabeled as such.Schuyler, A. E. (1966). A new species of ''Scirpus'' in California. ''Brittonia'' 18:2 140-142. It is a perennial herb forming a clump of erect stems growing up to a meter tall, solitary stems sometimes occurring as well. The stems are three-angled and narrow at the middle. Sheathing leaves occur at the stem bases as well as higher up the stems. The inflorescence occurs at the end of the stem, with small additional ones growing from the uppermost leaf axial.
