    Does anyone know of it? If so, I'd like the details.

    Post or e-mail. Thanks

    Sedges have edges,
    and rushes are round,
    grasses have joints,
    and all can be found where willow abound.

    Sedges have edges, and rushes are round,
    But grasses have nodes from their tips to the ground.

    This is the version I’m familiar with…
    Sedges have edges
    Grasses are round
    Rushes are hollow straight up from the ground
