| "Sedges have edges rushes are round grasses are hollow right up from the ground" is the one I know. Think I learned it from a co-worker when I worked at a nature center. |

| "Sedges have edges, rushes are round, and grasses have joints- except when cops are around." This is the one I used when I was doing a summer of undergrad research work with sedges. :) |

| I think the 'grasses are hollow' part is kind of tricky. Many wetland plants like rushes and even cattails are partially hollow. I know the 'grasses have joints' one that brit73 wrote. |
