Schoenoplectus hotarui / Hotarui ホタルイ

 
Schoenoplectus hotarui, an annual herb occurring in wetlands, has cylindrical stems that grow in clusters. Leaves are nothing but leaf sheaths due to the blade's degeneration. Spikelets 2-7 attach to the stem tips; however, they appear to be positioned halfway to the stem ends, as the bracts follow the stem tips. The spikelets are 0.6-1.4cm long, 4-6mm wide, and oval-shaped, with three stigmas. Fruit is 3-ridged, flat, obovate, glossy, and black-brown in color. Bloom time: July-October.
