Scirpus
''Scirpus'' is a genus of grass-like species in the sedge family Cyperaceae many with the common names club-rush, wood club-rush or bulrush (see also bulrush for other plant genera so-named). They mostly inhabit wetlands and damp locations. Taxonomy The taxonomy of the genus is complex, and under review by botanists. Recent studies by taxonomists of the Cyperaceae have resulted in the creation of several new genera, including the genera '' Schoenoplectus'' and ''Bolboschoenus''; others (including ''Blysmus'', '' Isolepis'', '' Nomochloa'', and '' Scirpoides'') have also been used. At one point this genus held almost 300 species, but many of the species once assigned to it have now been reassigned, and it now holds an estimated 120 species. Description ''Scirpus'' are rhizomatous perennial herbs, with 3-angled stems and flat grass-like leaves. The flowers are in clusters of small spikelets, often brown or greenish brown. Some species (e.g. ''S. lacustris'') can reach a height of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Scirpus Flaccidifolius
''Scirpus flaccidifolius'', the reclining bulrush, is an uncommon plant species endemic to a small region in Virginia and North Carolina. It is reported from only six populations in three counties in Virginia ( Greensville, Sussex and Southampton) and one county in North Carolina ( Northampton). All known populations are within 100 km of each other, though the species does not seem to be in danger of extinction. ''Scirpus flaccidifolius'' is unusual in the genus in having culms (flowering stalks) that lean against other vegetation instead of being stiff and erect. The species also has wider but less numerous spikelet A spikelet, in botany, describes the typical arrangement of the flowers of grasses, sedges and some other Monocots. Each spikelet has one or more florets. The spikelets are further grouped into panicles or spikes.

Scirpus Atrovirens
''Scirpus atrovirens'', known as dark-green bulrush, is a perennial sedge native to wetlands of eastern Canada and the United States. It is sometimes called dark green bulsedge, black bulrush, or green bulrush. It was first formally named by Carl Ludwig Willdenow in 1809. ''Scirpus atrovirens'' grows in a wide variety of wetland habitats, typically in sunny areas rather than shady. It can be found in wet meadows and shrubby thickets, openings in swamps, marshes, shorelines, as well as roadside ditches. The plant can grow up to five feet tall, and thrives in hardiness zones A hardiness zone is a geographic area defined as having a certain average annual minimum temperature, a factor relevant to the survival of many plants.

''Scirpus diffusus'' is a species of flowering plant in the sedge family known by the common name umbrella bulrush. It is endemic to California, where it can be found in several of the high mountain ranges from the Klamath Mountains to the Sierra Nevada. It grows in wetland habitat and other moist areas, such as mountain meadows. It is similar to '' Scirpus congdonii'' and was described from herbarium specimens once mislabeled as such.Schuyler, A. E.

Scirpus Congdonii
''Scirpus congdonii'' is a species of flowering plant in the sedge family known by the common name Congdon's bulrush after noted Californian botanist J.W. Congdon. It is native to the mountains and plateaus of far northern California and adjacent sections of southern Oregon and western Nevada. It can be found in wetland habitat and other moist areas, such as mountain meadows and waterways. It is a perennial herb forming a loose or dense clump of erect stems growing up to half a meter tall, solitary stems sometimes occurring as well. The stems are three-angled and narrow at the middle. Sheathing leaves occur at the stem bases as well as higher up the stems. The inflorescence occurs at the end of the stem, with small additional ones growing from leaf axils. The inflorescence consists of several clusters of many spikelets wrapped at the bases in a leaflike bract In botany, a bract is a modified or specialized leaf, especially one associated with a reproductive structure such as a ...

Scirpophaga Nivella
''Scirpophaga nivella'' is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1794. It is found in southern Asia from the Indian Subcontinent in the west to southern China in the east, south to New Guinea and Australia, including New Caledonia and Fiji. Some sources have affixed the common name "sugarcane top borer" to it, despite it not being found in sugarcane, because they are confused with the species ''Scirpophaga excerptalis'', which is an actual borer in the tops of sugarcane. Another newer common name that has been invented for these moths is "white rice borer". Taxonomy The species was described in 1794 by Johan Christian Fabricius as ''Tinea nivella'', from a specimen collected in India. It was moved to the genus ''Tryporyza'' by Wang in 1980, and a year later it was moved again to the genus ''Scirpophaga'' by the Thai entomologist Angoon Lewvanich. The genus ''Scirpophaga'' was first introduced by Georg Friedrich Treitschke in 1832 as a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
