Cyperus dubius, the soft sedge, is one of around 700 species of Cyperus in the sedge family, Cyperaceae. It is found throughout in tropical Africa, South India, and Indo-China to Malesia. It grows in seasonally flooded areas and in pockets of soil among rocks. It is not confined to wetlands and is sometimes found as a weed in fields, near the sea on sandy beaches (Cook 1996) and also seen in open shady places.
