Cyperus haspan, commonly known as “Haspan sedge,” is a species of perennial plant in the Cyperaceae family. It is native to various regions, including parts of Asia, Africa, and Australia. Cyperus haspan is typically found in wetlands, marshes, and along the margins of rivers and ponds. It is characterized by its slender, grass-like stems and inflorescence, making it an interesting addition to aquatic or boggy gardens.

Cyperus haspan is a clump-forming sedge with tall, slender stems that can reach heights of up to 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters). The stems are triangular in shape and have a distinctive appearance similar to grass.

The plant’s leaves are long, narrow, and linear, growing from the base of the stem. They have a grassy texture and may have a green to bluish-green color.

Cyperus haspan produces umbrella-like inflorescences at the top of its stems. Each inflorescence consists of several small spikelets, which are clusters of flowers.

As a water-loving plant, Cyperus haspan is commonly found in wetland habitats, including marshes, swamps, and along the edges of ponds or slow-moving water bodies.
