Rhynchospora caduca, commonly called anglestem beaksedge,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the sedge family (Cyperaceae). It is native to North America, where it is found in the southeastern United States.[2][3] Its typical natural habitat is in low, wet areas, such as in marshes, seeps, tidal swamps, pine savannas, and flatwoods.[2][4]
Rhynchospora caduca is a cespitose perennial, usually with short scaly rhizomes. It is tall for a Rhynchospora, growing up to 150 cm high. It produces fruits in summer through fall.[4] It is closely related to Rhynchospora mixta and Rhynchospora odorata, and local introgressant populations have been noted.[4]
