Cyperus lancastriensis, commonly known as manyflower flatsedge[2] is a species of sedge that is native to eastern parts of the United States,[3] primarily in the coastal plain and Piedmont. Cyperus lancastriensis has a tall growth form with a radiating cluster of spreading flower stalks at the apex of its stem.[4] It inhabits dry to mesic woodlands, clearings, fields, roadsides,[2] mafic and granitic outcrops, and riverside prairies.[4] It is similar to Cyperus hystricinus and Cyperus refractus, with Cyperus hystricinus having more broadly elliptical spikes and Cyperus refractus having denser spikes and shorter scales compared to Cyperus lancastriensis.[2]
