40-50, see text Kyllinga is genus of flowering plants in the sedge family known commonly as spikesedges.

[2][3] These sedges vary in morphology, growing to heights from 2.5 centimeters to a meter and sometimes lacking rhizomes.

They are closely related to Cyperus species[4] and sometimes treated as part of a more broadly circumscribed Cyperus.

[1][5][6] The genus was named for the 17th century Danish botanist Peder Lauridsen Kylling.
