Bolboschoenus planiculmis
Bolboschoenus planiculmis is a species of flowering plant in the sedge family Cyperaceae. It sprouts from tubers or seeds from April to May and flowers between May and July, with the aboveground biomass dying back in October. It is distributed in estuaries across and throughout East Asia, Central Asia, and Central Europe with small populations reported in Western European countries such as the Netherlands. B. planiculmis can be identified by its bifid styles as opposed to the trifid styles which are found on all other Bolboschoenus species in Europe.
Bolboschoenus planiculmis is a perennial clonal plant with a height of 20–100 centimeters (8–40 in) that reproduces both sexually through seeds and asexually through vegetative propagation. As the fruits of B. planiculmis are floatable, it has been suggested that spreading after floods is a possible means of distribution.
