Cyperus drummondii, commonly known as Drummond's sedge,[4] is a species of sedge, that is native to the southern parts of North America, parts of Central America, and northern parts of South America.
Taxonomy
[edit]Cyperus drummondii was jointly named and described by the American botanist John Torrey and the English botanist William Jackson Hooker.[2] In an influential monograph published in 1836, Torrey acknowledged the many contributions of Hooker, which included "a set of Mr. Drummond's plants collected in Louisiana and Texas".[5]. The acknowledgment refers to the Scottish naturalist Thomas Drummond who collected the type specimen.[6] Torrey named the species in Drummond's honor. As of February 2026[update], the botanical name Cyperus drummondii Torr. & Hook. is widely accepted.[3][7]
