JOINTED FLAT SEDGE
Sedges are a grass-like herb that form tufts in moist or wet soil, such as marshes, swamps, prairies, and floodplains. The triangular stems have flat spikes at the top. When not flowering with the wide feathery white flower, sedges can be differentiated from other grasses by sharp edges. Sawgrass is also a sedge with saw-like edges.
