Its
seedling can be distinguished from those of smallflower
umbrella sedge and most other sedges by the 180° angle of the leaves.

bulrush from river bulrush which has three to five of these leaflike structures. Mature plants are about 2
to 3 feet (60 - 90 cm), generally shorter than those of river bulrush. It also
flowers later in the season than river
bulrush, about 60 to 70 days after flooding.
