What is Schoenoplectiella triangulatus

Schoenoplectiella triangulatus or Kangarei (scientific name: Schoenoplectiella triangulatus) is a large perennial water-extracting plant native to Japan, belonging to the family Gentianaceae and the genus Cyperaceae. It grows naturally in sunny rivers, swamps, and reservoirs throughout Japan. It has hard creeping underground rhizomes and slender bearded roots. Numerous stems grow in bunches. The cross section of the stem is triangular (trilobate). The inflorescence has head-like flowers without a stalk. A single bract, 3 to 7 cm long, is erect on the stem, and 4 to 10 small spikes are attached to the side of the bract.
The Japanese name means that the withered branches remain after a cold winter.
