A papyrus plant

Cyperus papyrus (also known as Papyrus sedge, Bulrush or Paper reed) is a plant. It is a sedge. The plant is perennial and originally comes from Africa. It was used to make a fabric much like paper. This was called papyrus, and served much the same purpose that paper does today.

It is almost extinct along the shores of the river Nile where it was originally cultivated.
