Taxonomic Notes
Synonyms: C. praelongatus Steudel; C. stenolepis Torrey.[3]
Varieties: none.[3]
Description
C. strigosus is a perennial graminoid of the Cyperaceae family native to North America and Canada. [1]
Distribution
C. strigosus can be found in all of the United States excluding North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado, as well as in the Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan regions of Canada. [1]
Ecology
Habitat
C. strigosus can be found in marshes, ditches, wet flatwoods, and wet disturbed areas. [2] It has been observed in a range of habitats, including hammocks, salt marshes, wet disturbed areas, bottom flats and peaty flats, wet pond margins and other shorelines, slopes, and other wet areas. Soils include wet loamy sand, wet sandy loam, drying loamy sand, and wet sandy peat.[4] It is listed as a facultative wetland species, where it is most commonly found in wetland areas, but can occasionally be found in non-wetland habitats.[1]
Associated species: Aeschynomene sp., Polygonum sp., Rhynchospora sp., Cyperus polystachyos, C. pseudovegetus, C. surinamensis, Pontederia sp., Sagittaria engelmannii, Commelina sp., Hypoxis sp., Sacciolepis striata, Ludwigia sp., Phyla sp., Ipomoea sp., Bidens mitis, Solidago fistulosa, Heteranthera sp., Coelorachis rugosa, Hyptis alata, Boltonia caroliniana, Eupatorium serotinum, Polypremum procumbens, and other grasses.[4]
Phenology
C. strigosus has been observed to flower between June and July.[5] It is also known to flower from July to October as well.[2]
Fire ecology
C. strigosus is fire resistant, and has a medium fire tolerance. [1]
Herbivory and toxicology
C. strigosus hosts planthoppers from the Delphacidae family (Muellerianella laminalis and Stenocranus sp.).[6] C. strigosus is palatable for grazing animals, but not for humans. [1]
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
C. strigosus is classified as a weedy or invasive species by the Southern Weed Science Society, Champaign, Illinois. [1]
Cultural use
The roots are edible to humans.[7]
