(Glumiflorae; Glumaceae BH.). 65 gen., 2600 sp., cosmop., chiefly marsh-pi. Grass-like pi. (sedges), mostly perenn. with creeping sympodial rhiz. The new shoot of each year is adnate, for an internode or more, to the parent shoot, so that the branching seems at first sight extra-axillary. The aerial shoot is usu. grass-like, bat the stem solid and angular with 3 ranks of 1. The 1. is sheathing at the base, but the sheath is entire, not split as in a grass. The unit of infl. is again a spikelet; the total infl. may be a spike or panicle as in grasses. In many sedges the spikelet is cymose—a sympodium —and should perhaps be termed a pseudo-spikelet. The fl. is borne in the axil of a glume and may be ? or unisexual; it is usu. naked but may have a P of 6 (or oo) small scales or hairs; A 3, G (3) or (2), i-loc., with long feathery (anemoph.) stigmas; ovule i, basal, anatr. In Carex, &c., the $ fl. is borne in the axil of a second glume (the utricle) which closely enwraps it (in the figure it is shown diagiammati- cally). The fls. are wind-pollinated. Fr. an achene, the testa not adhering to the pericarp.
