Poaceae, Cyperaceae and Juncaceae Week: Poaceae- Cyperus bravifolius from STR (nsd-7) : Attachments (2). 3 posts by 3 authors. Cyperus bravifolius (Rottb.) Hassk. Photograph from Satpura Tiger Reserve Seoni M.P. please validate As per key provided by Manudev Ji, i think, it is Kyllinga brevifolia Rottb. (Cyperus brevifolius (Rottb.) Hassk.). Two more similar looking species, with tufted culms - i) Kyllinga cylindrica Nees should have more cylindric (three-fourth inch) spike ii) Kyllinga squamulata Vahl is with leaves often longer than stems, and distributed in Western India, Kashmir. This is a common sedge along water channels, this one shot from around wheat fields of my native place in Kaithal. I hope this should be Kyllinga brevifolia Rottb. Please correct me if I am wrong.. Nice photographs ... I can see ... already confirmed the ID - efi thread:)
Another small, less than 6 inches cyperaceae, in front of my house, photographed today. (3.10.14) It is Kyllinga brevifolia Rottb. Once again I convey my heartiest thanks to .... I think my earlier post is same species as this one. Hooghly - Kyllinga brevifolia Rottb.? : Attachments (6). 3 posts by 2 authors. It is hard to believe that this small plant can be Kyllinga brevifolia Rottb. But i have no other option, for if it would had been at least 6 inches high and with reddish/brownish spike i might have think of Rhynchospora wallichiana Kunth! Recorded on 31/8/13, in front of my school. Reply from another thread: "Once again I convey my heartiest thanks to ... I think my earlier post is same species as this one (Kyllinga brevifolia). Yes Sir, I am surprised that these are significantly smaller than K. nemoralis, and also much less spread. Yes, it is Kyllinga brevifolia This is my 3rd upload of this species, recorded yesterday. This is time it is rather stouter than the previous two. Poor picture quality is due to cloudy day, low light in bamboo thicket, exhausted camera life!

The plant posted here looks a bit different in context of the inflorescence - please therefore validate the ID in this post. In the northern Konkan and Western Ghats of Maharashtra, we have at least following species of Kyllinga reported:
Reference (PDF) : The Gazetteer Department (Govt. of Maharashtra) - महाराष्ट्रातील वनस्पतीशास्त्र आणि वनसंपदा Very eager to see uploads of various species of Kyllinga. I was trying to understand various Kyllinga mentioned by ..., but....... :( Descriptions can be read in Flora of British India -
Kyllinga melanosperma Nees herbarium - http://www.europeana.eu/portal/search.html?query=title%3a%22Kyllinga+melanosperma+Nees%22&rows=12 Kyllinga squamulata Thonn. ex Vahl pics - http://www.zimbabweflora.co.zw/speciesdata/species.php?species_id=110660 Kyllinga bulbosa P.Beauv. - http://idao.cirad.fr/SpecieSheet?sheet=adventoi/especes/k/kylbu/kylbu_fr.html In our group we have posts of other two species. Many thanks ... I am hoping many of us share their sightings of various species of Kyllinga. The pictures at the links are good; but familiarity with grasses and sedges is absolutely low - not yet able to grasp the differences."we are in the same boat brother..." Good morning ... This might help :- http://flora.huh.harvard.edu/china/PDF/PDF23/Kyllinga.pdf According to Flora of British India, K. cylindrica Nees is scattered widely in India, not plentiful anywhere. I am thinking if your species https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/indiantreepix/HUoQO2C7JHQ/_X1xUFdcT18J can be the same. I think same as in another thread: Thanks ..., I have revised my notes accordingly.
