Here is an example of Carex intumescens in the family of cyperaceae:

It happens to be threatened in Illinois and those folks call it swollen sedge. C. intumescens has some notable relatives in the family cyperaceae, according to Wikipedia, both water chestnuts and papyrus of the paper making kind call this little plant cousin.
