DESCRIPTION:
Smallflower umbrella sedge, sometimes called smallflower umbrellaplant, is an
annual sedge that is 12 to 16 inches (30 - 40 cm) tall. On seedlings, narrow, grasslike
leaves grow out in three directions at approximately 120° angles. Mature
plant has several triangular, pithy stems, rising from the base of the plant.
Each stem has secondary leaves below the flower clusters. Globular dense flower
clusters may or may not be stalked. Individual flowers are green with brown
sides on spikes. Found throughout the rice-growing areas, this plant produces
thousands of small seeds that become uniformly distributed over the field.
