The Cyperaceae (/ ˌ s aɪ p ə ˈ r eɪ s i. iː,-ˌ aɪ /) are a family of graminoid (grass-like), monocotyledonous flowering plants known as sedges.The family is large; botanists have described some 5,500 known species in about 90 genera [3] [4] – the largest being the "true sedges" (genus Carex), [5] [6] with over 2,000 species.
