Ahaniu, UkiCyperaceae (Sedge family)Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands (all main islands except Niihau and Kahoolawe)Photo: Oahu (Cultivated); upper right: Panicum torridumHawaiian Names:The early Hawaiians named this plant Ahaniu, meaning "coconut sennit." Sennit is a type of cordage made by plaiting or braiding strands of leaves or fiber. Coconut (niu) fiber from the husks was often used. It was important in attaching the ama (outrigger float) to the hull of the waa (canoe), as well as securing stones to war-club handles and erecting hale (houses).Uki is a name used for some native sedges (Cladium jamaicense, Machaerina spp.) and also another name for Ukiuki or Hawaiian dianella (Dianella sandwicensis).Closeup of base of plant
www.flickr.com/photos/dweickhoff/17944118299/in/photolist...EtymologyThe generic name Machaerina is derived from the Latin machaera, a bent dagger or sword, and -ina, a feminine suffix, which in this case is diminutive, referring to the shape of the leaves of some species.The specific epithet mariscoides is from the Latin Mariscus, a genus in Cyperaceae, the suffix -oides, like or resembling, in reference to this species resemblance of the sedge Mariscus.The subspecific meyenii was named after Franz Julius Ferdinand Meyen (1804-1840), a German physician and botanist.

I've been accused of having everything in my yard except the kitchen sink. Well, no more! I now have the kitchen sink too.I plugged the drain puka (hole) and used our old kitchen sink as a planter for kaluh, an indigenous sedge (Schoenoplectiella juncoides). The algae is the result of adding greensand. So, don't add greensand. (The tacky-looking ply boards in the background are the neighbor's "fence." But it fits with the theme.)

www.flickr.com/photos/dweickhoff/5187366567/in/photostream/This indigenous sedge is not known to be used by early settlers in the Hawaiian Islands. However, in other parts of the world the seeds were used as a food source and the leaves were used in making baskets, mats, sandals, and clothing.EtymologyBolboschoenus is from the Greek bolbos, swelling or bulb, and schoinos, rush in reference to the ligneous (woody) tubers at the culm (aerial part of the plant) bases.The specific epithet martinus, growing by the sea, is in reference to its brackish-freshwater habitat.NPH00009

Sept. 27, 2012, Silver Lake, Brighton, Utah, approx. 8,720 ft. elev.The lush plant growth in these calm, shallow lake waters consists of a number of things but here primarily is Carex utriculata (Northwest Territory Sedge, and Beaded - not Beaked - sedge are some of its common names). C. utriculata has historically been treated by some authors within C. rostrata (Beaked sedge) but these are now somewhat more recently considered to be separate species and following those treatments, C. rostratra does not occur in Utah.
