The Cyperaceae (/ˌsaɪpəˈreɪsi.iː,-ˌaɪ/) 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.[7]
