Fimbristylis is a genus of sedges. A plant in this genus may be known commonly as a fimbry or fimbristyle. There are 200 to 300 species distributed worldwide. Several continents have native species but many species have been introduced to regions where they are not native. Some are considered weeds. These are typical sedges in appearance, with stiff, ridged stems and cone-shaped terminal panicles of spikelets. They are found in wet environments, and are most diverse in tropical and subtropical regions.
Fimbristylis miliacea, the grasslike fimbry or hoorahgrass, is a species of fimbry that probably originated in coastal tropical Asia but has since spread to most continents as an introduced species. It is a widespread weed in some areas and is sometimes problematic in rice paddies.
Grafton Ponds Natural Area Preserve is a 375-acre (1.52 km2) Natural Area Preserve located in York County, Virginia. It preserves Virginia's best remaining example of a coastal plain pond complex, and supports several locally-rare species including pond spice, Mabee's salamander, barking treefrog, and the globally imperiled Harper's fimbristylis.
Fimbristylis ferruginea is a species of fimbry, commonly referred to as rusty sedge or West Indian fimbry. This plant is frequently found along the coastlines and estuaries of Australia. It is also native to certain regions in Africa, southern Asia, and South America. The flowers of this species exhibit a distinctive rusty brown color and appear on a single spikelet during the months of May to July.
