My earlier References referred to マラスゲ as an example of a 
sedge name using すげfrom outside of the genus Carex. I meant 
to type マルスゲ and include this link, 

http://biwa118.web.fc2.com/wild_plants2/marusuge.htm

which gives マルスゲ as another name for フトイ (Scirpus 
tabernaemontani).

Japanese names for plants in the family Cyperaceae, but 
outside of the genus Carex, appear to also use the character 
菅 (すげ). Examples include ハマスゲ [浜菅 (はますげ)] and マラスゲ.

I came across this apparent oversight recently while reading, 
but am not an expert in biological naming in Japanese.
