Description
C. haspan is a perennial graminoid of the Cyperaceae family that is native to North America. [1]
Distribution
C. haspan is natively distributed across the southeastern region of the United States; from Florida north to Virginia and west to Texas. It is also native to Puerto Rico and the Pacific Basin, and has been introduced to Hawaii.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
Common habitats for C. haspan is in tidal marshes, low fields, ditches, and waterfowl impoundments. It requires full sunlight, it has littler tolerance for shaded regions.[1][4] Cyperus haspan has been found to grow well in subtropical and tropical climates and being of the most productive plants in the regions wetlands. [5] Habitats also include wet prairies, broadleaf marshes, and wetland shrubs. They are found to germinate well in flooded environments. [6] Specimens have been collected in the following habitats; river banks, moist loamy sands, pine flatwood clearings, ponds, shallow water, hillside bogs. [7]
