Cyperus articulatus is an aromatic species of sedge known by the common names jointed flatsedge and priprioca. It has also been known as Guinea rush or adrue.[3] It grows as a perennial[4] herb.[5] It grows in water or near it in rivers, streams, lakes, and swamps with a hyperhydrate (emergent aquatic) or possibly tenagophyte (submerged juvenile and terrestrial adult) growth pattern.[4] It is widespread across tropical and subtropical regions in Africa, southern Asia,[4] northern Australia, the southeastern United States, the West Indies, and Latin America.[6][5] While it is closely related to highly invasive sedges such as purple nut sedge (Cyperus rotundus), priprioca is less prolific and competitive than its relative.
