Other members of the family Cyperaceae are also called sedges, however those of genus ''Carex'' may be called true sedges, and it is the most species-rich genus in the family. The study of ''Carex'' is known as caricology. Description All species of ''Carex'' are perennial plant, perennial, although some species, such as ''Carex bebbii, C. bebbii'' and ''Carex viridula, C. viridula'' can fruit in their first year of growth, and may not survive longer. They typically have rhizomes, stolons or short rootstocks, but some species grow in tufts (caespitose). The culm (botany), culm – the flower-bearing stalk – is unbranched and usually erect.
