Southern African Schoenus resources on the Internet

Over the last year and a half, I have been creating Wikipedia and Wikispecies articles for the southern African Schoenus species. For each species article, I have tried to include species descriptions, a brief taxonomic note and some information on the distributions and key habitats. When possible, I have incorporated images from iNaturalist contributors and myself to help describe the species. I have also included a distribution map for each species to give readers an idea of where a species might be found.

The intention for these pages is to make it easier to identify and understand these difficult-to-identify and complex species. This is a 'work-in-progress', as I realize that improvements can always be made, especially with image quality. Ideally, I would make a digital key available to help you identify your specimen. Then, you could google the species name and see the Wikipedia page to double check your identification. Hopefully, the time will one day be available to do this.

I still have yet to create articles for seven species whose names are still being processed through important taxonomic name databases. (Schoenus australis, Schoenus brunnescens, Schoenus graciliculmis, Schoenus inconspicuus, Schoenus crinitus, Schoenus selinae and Schoenus rigidus).

Thanks to all of those who have given me permission to use their images posted on iNaturalist during this process.
