This is off topic, but here is a mnemonic that comes to mind about how to differentiate the stems and blades belonging to sedges, rushes, and grasses:<br /><br />"Sedges have edges,<br />Rushes are round,<br />Grasses are jointed, <br />and much-abound."Daddyodekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01416212215069825266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-65778014924500451352011-04-25T08:48:35.843-05:002011-04-25T08:48:35.843-05:00When I took Spring Flora at the Univ. of S.
