Cyperus croceus, commonly known as Baldwin's flatsedge,[2] is a species of sedge that is native to parts of North America, Central America, and South America.[3]
The species was first formally described by the botanist Martin Vahl in 1805.[3]
C. croceus requires a semi-tropical climate for growth. It occurs in moist environments, and has been observed growing in floodplains and fluvial environments.[4]
