Yeah hard to identify from this plant material alone.
These stems and plants in these photographs have a rust fungus infection, as you can see here too.

Hi JamesPStewartNMsnc2016, sorry we had a good search and no further material. It did seem very unusual though so hoping it sparks something?!

Aah okay all good !
As you may know, in generalisation, Au Cyperaceae 'sedges and some of the rushes' botanical family species are harder to identify in first hand on site field botany,
than even some Poaceae grasses botanical family species
(not to really compare to much easier to ID common ground layer herbaceous species eg. *Eryngium ovinum*).
And Au Cyperaceae 'sedges and some of the rushes' botanical family species, even more difficult to confirm the identification by merely photographs – sometimes not enough evidence for any possibility of species ID
and sometimes only from many years of experience and time consuming hunting close up all through the full resolution photographs for species diagnostic, confirming, features (as here) .
