What is a Papyrus Sedge? Cyperus papyrus, an aquatic flowering plant that grows in Africa, is the source of the papyrus material used by ancient Egyptians to make paper.
This plant is characterized by its long, slender leaves and greenish-brown flowers.
It can be found in wetlands and other moist habitats near water.
The best time to see a Papyrus Sedge is in the early morning or late afternoon when it is blooming.
