		+	{{Combined plant species form
		+	\|introdescription=''Cyperus rotundus'' is a small plant with individuals reaching upto 40cm. It is a very proliferative weed and has spread to several countries. It grows in agricultural lands and garden soils. This plant was, however, described in '''Charaka Samhita''', the first book on Indian medicine written in the first millennium. It is used in Ayurveda to treat fevers, digestive system disorders etc. Plant extract is a constituent of Dabur Chyawanprash and some hair oils.

Inflorescence an anthelodium, 40-100 mm; 2-3 lowermost bracts foliose, longer than inflorescence; primary branches 5-8, to more than 50 mm long; secondary anthelodia 25-50 mm; clusters of spikes 15-40 mm, of (2-)5-7(-9) spikes on slightly elongated axis, sometimes nearly digitately; spikes 10-40 x 1.5-2 mm, with 11-51 glumes, glume-like bract c. 2 mm, glume-like prophyll 1.9-2.4 mm, bi-nerved, sterile; spike rachis 4-angled, c. 0.5 mm wide, internodes 0.7-1 mm, winged; glumes (2.3-)2.7-3.7 mm, cymbiform, rather closely imbricate, obtuse, dark reddish brown, or grey-brown, sides with two distinct nerves, nerveless area wide, margin narrowly or sometimes widely scarious, towards apex embracing nut.

		+	\|bloom type=Perennial
		+	\|habitat details=The plant is known as the '''worlds worst weed'''. Its existence in a field significantly reduces crop yield, both because it is a tough competitor for ground resources, and because it is allelopathic, the roots releasing substances harmful to other plants. Similarly, it also has a bad effect on ornamental gardening. The difficulty to control it is a result of its intensive system of underground tubers, and its resistance to most herbicides. It is also one of the few weeds that cannot be stopped with plastic mulch.
