Uncinia
''Uncinia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Cyperaceae, known as hook-sedges in Australia and as ''hook grasses'' or ''bastard grasses'' in New Zealand. The genus is characterised by the presence of a long hook formed by an extension of the rachilla,〔 which is used to attach the fruit to passing animals (epizoochory), especially birds, and it is this feature which gives the genus its name, from the Latin ''uncinus'', meaning a hook or barb. ==Systematics== ''Uncinia'' is a "satellite genus" of the very large genus ''Carex'', alongside other satellites such as ''Cymophyllus'', ''Kobresia'', ''Schoenoxiphium'', ''Vesicarex''. ''Uncinia'' seems to form a monophyletic group, with the most distinct species being ''U. kingii'', a species which has sometimes been placed in the genus ''Carex''.〔 Similarly, ''Carex microglochin'' has sometimes been included in ''Uncinia'', as ''U. microglochin''.
