Description
This image displays the inflorescence of Mertens' Sedge, a grass-like plant, not a woody bonsai specimen. The pendulous, light green to yellowish-brown spikelets are characteristic of this sedge species, typically found in moist areas. As this is not a bonsai, many fields are filled to best fit the plant's natural characteristics or marked as not applicable.
