It hastufted stems that branch fromnear the base ; and its flowers areeither solitary or in clusters oftwo or three. As regards the Sedges (orderCyperaceat), the species are sonumerous that it is impossible todo them justice in a work of thisnature. Their stems are soKd, usuallymore or less triangular, notswollen at the nodes as in grasses ;and the sheaths of the leaveswhich surround the stems are not spUt.
