Cyperus bulbosus

Cyperus bulbosus is a species of sedge found across Africa, the Middle East, Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and Australia.[1] In Australia, it is commonly called Nalgoo or (Australian) bush onion[2] or "wild onion", but is not related to the onion or other Alliaceae. It is a component of Australian bushfood, but is considered an agricultural weed in other areas.
