Lovian cyprus

Cyperus loviaca, also known as Lovian cyperus or Lovian sedge, is a species of sedge native to the Lovia Archipelago.

Distribution
Cyperus loviaca is native to the Lovia Archipelago, and can be found on each of the islands. It grows in wet areas, especially in brackish water, wet alkaline soils, mineral-rich hot springs, and other moist saline and alkaline habitat.

Description
Cyperus loviaca is a perennial sedge growing up to 47 centimeters tall, sometimes in clumps interconnected on a horizontal rhizome. The inflorescence is a small array of cylindrical spikelets with one to three leaflike bracts at the base. The spikelets vary in color from green to reddish to dark brown.

Cyperus loviaca shares many similarities with Cyperus laevigatus, a species of sedge that is not native to the Lovia Archipelago.
