Order Cyperales
The Order Cyperales has two very large Families, the Sedges and the
Grasses. Sedges have grass-like leaves and very small flowers which grow in
spikes or clusters. Most sedges have stems that are triangular in
cross-section and you can feel these ridges running the length of the stem.
Sedges tend to have solid stems and soft joints whereas Grasses have hollow
stems and hard stem joints.
