Papyrus papyrus, or Papyrus (lat. Cyperus papyrus)- a tall perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Syt (lat. Cyperus) of the sedge family (lat. Cyperaceae). Long before our era, its practically leafless shoots were used by the Egyptians to make writing material of the same name. Since such production was carried out only in Egypt, the marsh plant Papyrus algae, or rather Papyrus, became a symbol of Egypt, existing from ancient times to the present day. Although Papyrus later appeared in other countries, it is still associated with Egypt today. Today, souvenir sellers in Egypt offer tourists to purchase various crafts and scrolls from Papyrus.

What's in your name

In Ancient Egypt, this plant had a different name. The name "Papyrus" was born later. There are several versions about its origin, two of which are based on two different Egyptian (not to be confused with Arabic) words with similar pronunciation.

One word sounded like “papiur” and meant “Nile” in translation. The second word sounded like “papouro”, and belonged to the Copts (the first Christians in Egypt), and translated means “that which belongs to the king.” If we consider that the Copts appeared later than the Nile, then the first version proposed by the Russian Egyptologist, Boris Aleksandrovich Turaev (1868 - 1920), seems closer to the truth.

In addition to the two main names of the plant, there are others. One of them emphasizes the plant’s membership in the sedge family and sounds like “Papyrus sedge.” Another compares papyrus to the very similar Reed plant, and therefore sounds like “Paper Reed.”

Description

Although Papyrus is sometimes called "Paper Reed", there are many more differences between them than similarities. They are similar in their large size, which confuses people who learn for the first time that both plants belong to herbaceous representatives of the plant world.

Papyrus, a plant of marshy areas, has a powerful, thick rhizome resembling a tree trunk. From the rhizome, from scaly brown sheaths formed by underdeveloped leaves, tall, strong, fast-growing stems appear on the surface of the earth. The height of the plant varies from 4 to 5 meters, not inferior in this to the Reed. The crown of the strong stem is a dense cluster of bright green thin stems, similar to a feathery panicle when young. The cross section of the stem is triangular in shape. The core of the shoots was used by the Egyptians as food, raw or processed.

Although Papyrus is considered a leafless plant, it still has leaves. These are the same red-brown triangular scales that form brown sheaths for the birth of stems, and the young parts of the rhizome are also covered with such underdeveloped scale-like leaves.

In late summer, greenish-brown inflorescences are born at the ends of thread-like stems, which then turn into brown, nut-like fruits.

Usage

Papyrus, considered in Egypt as the “gift of the Nile,” is a multi-purpose plant.

In addition to the fact that people used the plant as a food product and also as a medicine, a lot of household items were made from Papyrus: they made sandals, wove rugs and baskets, made thin writing material, and also made durable light boats.

The famous traveler and writer, Thor Heyerdahl, using the experience of ancient navigators, sailed from the shores of Africa to the shores of the American continent on a boat made of papyrus. With his experience, he showed the ability of the ancient Egyptians to travel to America. Maybe that’s why so many similar monuments were left to Mankind by the ancient civilizations of two continents far from each other.

Who hasn't heard the name of the plant Cepirus - papyrus? Probably heard everything!

Over the millennia, beautiful hymns dedicated to the sun, scary fairy tales and stories have come down to us on crispy yellow scrolls. These scrolls also preserved the teaching of the teacher to the schoolboy: “And a hawk must be taught to build a nest, and a falcon must be taught to fly!” I will make a man out of you, you worthless boy, know that.”

Egyptian scrolls with writing are called papyrus. Translated from Egyptian, papyrus means “gift of the river.”

Papyrus is a plant that grew in ancient times on the swampy banks of the Nile. It was bred as a cultivated plant near the cities of Memphis, Thebes and others.

Now papyrus is found only in the upper reaches of the Nile, on Lake Chad and in the Niger and Congo basins, that is, in the tropics of Africa. In places where papyrus grows, the banks of the river form dark green walls three and even five meters high, stretching continuously.

The green wall consists of straight, triangular stems as thick as your arm. At the top of such a stem, a thick bunch or umbrella of long and narrow leaves hangs to the sides. Sometimes, among the green umbrellas with leaves, a stem appears with a higher umbrella of inflorescences in the form of a gray fan, consisting of complex spikelets in which the flowers are covered with scales. Flowers with three stamens and one tripartite pistil resemble the flowers of a common plant in our swamp - sedge, which also has a triangular stem.

Papyrus and sedge, it turns out, are from the same sedge family (Suregaceae - cyperaceae).

The fruits of papyrus, like cereals, are caryopses.

Papyrus has interesting roots, which partly float in the water, like an underwater swaying forest of white stems. Some of the roots and thick woody rhizomes take root in swampy banks, strengthening them and contributing to the accumulation of silt. Papyrus rhizomes, which taste like almonds, are fragrant and nutritious. The Egyptians ate them raw and roasted. These rhizomes are the main food of hippopotamuses, which, along with the disappearance of papyrus in the lower reaches of the Nile, moved to its upper reaches.

Papyrus on the banks of the Nile. Ancient Egyptian bas-relief depicting the collection of papyrus. The triangular stems of papyrus, like an aquatic and marsh plant, have air vessels and large intercellular spaces filled with air. They are light and do not sink in water. In ancient times, papyrus stems were tied in bunches and made into two-seater shuttles for catching fish and birds. They caulked large ships. Mats and baskets were woven from the stems. Sandals were made from the bark, and fabrics were made from the fiber, which were valued higher than linen.

The most important thing is that a type of paper called papyrus was made from the papyrus plant. The core was extracted from the cut papyrus stems, dividing it into thin long strips. These strips were laid in close rows on a smooth board and moistened with water. Another row was laid out on the first row, but this time across. They scraped, smoothed, put under a press and dried in the sun. Other strips were glued to the resulting strip and sometimes, in order for the ink to stick better, they were dipped into the paste and dried again. The result of such work was dense, slightly yellowish papyrus, which for many centuries replaced paper and preserved in mysterious writing the thoughts and feelings of people who long ago lived in Egypt, Palestine, Greece and Rome.

You can grow papyrus at home. Of course, papyrus needs conditions reminiscent of its life on the banks of the Nile in tropical Africa. This is a swamp plant, and therefore the pot in which it grows must be immersed halfway in a container of water. But you should not place the entire papyrus under water. You can put part of the pot or roots pulled out of the pot into the aquarium. They grow well in water and produce a large number of shoots, in some cases up to sixty. For better papyrus growth, nutrient solutions should be added to the water (according to the Tradescantia recipe). At the bottom of the aquarium, under a layer of sand, there should be humus - turf and peaty - soil. In its homeland, papyrus is exposed to drought, so at the beginning of winter the pot is removed from the water and watered (from below, from the saucer) rarely and moderately. In February, the papyrus is transplanted into fresh soil and placed in water again. It is useful to water the soil in the pot with slurry (25 grams of cow dung per liter of water). The papyrus is kept warm, not lower than 16, and placed on a sunny window.

In Egypt, papyrus grows under the scorching rays of the sun, but in our rooms it has already become unaccustomed to them and even with very strong solar heating its leaves dry out. All drying leaves must be cut off. With proper care, papyrus blooms in April - May, after which the old leaves begin to dry out, but new ones appear to replace them. If it is possible to obtain papyrus seeds, they are sown in damp turf soil with sand. At first, the seedlings are filled with water. But even without seeds it is possible to propagate this “historical” plant. Cut off a whorl of leaves and throw them onto the surface of the aquarium water or place them on wet sand, covering them with a jar. Young plants will grow from dormant buds in the leaf axils. When replanting, large papyrus bushes can be divided into two or four.

Papyrus has a botanical name - Cyperus papyrus, or an older name - Papyrus antiquorum - ancient antique papyrus. But another, somewhat smaller, type of papyrus is more common and grows especially well in rooms - Cyperus alterni-folius from the island of Madagascar, off the eastern coast of Africa. Let's try to make real Egyptian papyrus from cut cyperus stems ourselves.

Biological description

Cross section of a papyrus stem

Papyrus is a very tall (up to 4-5 m) plant with almost leafless shoots up to 7 cm in diameter. Triangular-shaped stems grow from a thick, tree-like rhizome; at the base, each stem is surrounded by a brown, scale-like sheath of underdeveloped leaves, and at the end bears a large umbrella-shaped inflorescence, which in a young plant has the shape of a panicle of feathers for brushing off dust.

At the end of each large stem there is a bunch of thin, bright green stems 10-30 cm long, which branch into 3-5 rays of the second order. They are equipped with narrow drooping covering leaves, and at the top they bear brown-green cylindrical ears 1-2 cm long.

Papyrus blooms at the end of summer. The fruits are brown in color and resemble nuts.

Ecology

The geography of the plant varies from subtropical to tropical desert, and then to humid forests, with permissible annual temperature fluctuations of 20-30 °C and a pH of 6.0-8.5 pH. A favorable factor for flowering is full or partial sunlight. Like many tropical plants, papyrus is extremely sensitive to cold.

Papyrus inflorescences provide an ideal nesting site for various species of birds. Like most sedges, pollination in papyrus occurs not with the help of insects, but with the wind; ripe fruits spread through the water.

Papyrus in history

The Egyptians used this plant for various purposes, mainly for making paper. Since the papyrus plant has practically disappeared in areas of its natural range, it is currently cultivated mainly for decorative purposes. Theophrastus's book "Investigation of Plants" states that papyrus was found in Syria in addition to Egypt; according to Pliny the Elder's Natural History, papyrus was an original plant on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

In addition to papyrus itself, some other plants of the Syt genus were also used by the Egyptians. Thus, garlands were made from inflorescences as offerings to the gods. The cores of the plant's shoots were consumed both cooked and raw. The woody root was used to make bowls and other kitchen utensils and was also used as fuel. The stems were used to make reed boats (Fourth Dynasty bas-reliefs depicting people cutting papyrus to build a boat; similar vessels can still be found in Sudan), sails, masts, cloth, ropes, and sandals. According to Theophrastus, the rigging of the fleet of the ruler Antigonus was made of papyrus. This was a common occurrence at the time, as can be illustrated by the sea cable that held the door shutters while Odysseus dealt with petitioners in his house (Odyssey XXI. 390).

The reed or reed basket in which the biblical Moses was left could quite possibly have been made of papyrus.

In many European languages, the names of papers (German. Papier, English paper) and papyrus itself come from the ancient Greek word πάπῡρος . There is a hypothesis about the origin of this Greek word from ancient Egypt. pa-p-ouro, “this is the king” (which presumably indicates the royal monopoly on papyrus), however, both Chantrain and Frisk, recognizing the borrowed nature of the Greek word, consider this hypothesis unconvincing.

2010. CYPERUS

(Cyperus), or Papyrus (Cyperus papyrus L.) is a large genus of perennial herbaceous plants of the sedge family (Suregaceae). Also known as Syt and Sitovnik, translated from Egyptian it means “gift of the river.” In Britain, Cyperus is called "Umbrella Plant" - "umbrella plant".

In modern houses, air humidity is much lower than normal - almost like in the desert. And here a unique plant can come to the rescue, capable of turning the desert into an oasis - CIPERUS. He himself loves moisture very much, so the pot with him is placed in a tray with water. It’s good to have such trays with any moisture-loving plants in all rooms - they have a great effect on the air quality.

In indoor conditions, several types of cyperus are mainly grown: alternate-leaved, papyrus, spreading, white-striped. The most common is Cyperus alternifolius L. from the island of Madagascar. It was brought to Europe in the 18th century. This plant is up to 1.7 m high. The stems are triangular or rounded in cross section, the leaves are up to 25 cm long and about 1 cm wide. Cyperus has flowers collected in brown inflorescences-spikelets and laterally compressed. Two forms of it are known in culture: with white stripes on the leaves and dwarf cyperus, 30 - 50 cm high.

Homeland: tropics and subtropics. Distributed in swampy areas and ponds. Cyperus grows on the swampy banks of the Nile, in tropical Central Africa. In places where papyrus grows, the banks of the river form dark green walls 3 and even 5 m high, stretching continuously. Cyperus has thread-like leaves, which gives the plant an exotic appearance.

Papyrus also has interesting roots, which partly float in the water, like an underwater swaying forest of white stems. Papyrus rhizomes, which taste like almonds, are fragrant and nutritious. The Egyptians ate them raw and fried. In addition, rhizomes are the main food of hippopotamuses, which, along with the disappearance of papyrus in the lower reaches of the Nile, moved to its upper reaches.

Caring for Cyperus at home

Growing Cyperus is quite simple (care). In summer it needs a moderate temperature in the range of 18 - 25 degrees, in winter it needs a temperature of 16 - 18, but not lower than 12 degrees. Grows best in a bright place, light partial shade. In summer you need shading from direct sunlight, in winter - good lighting. The basic rule for caring for cyperus: its roots should always be moist. Therefore, it is better to place the pot with the plant in a deep tray filled with water in warm weather. Cyperus loves moist air, so do not forget to spray it regularly and wash the leaves. In winter, watering is reduced somewhat. In the spring-summer period, cyperus is fed once every 2-3 weeks with complex fertilizers, for example "Kemira".

The plant is replanted in the spring. The soil mixture should consist of leaf and humus soil, peat, sand in a ratio of 3:1:1:1. You can add a little charcoal and brick chips to the soil. Cyperus propagates by seeds, dividing the bush, and also by apical cuttings. The easiest way: cut off the umbrella, shorten the leaves, leaving 2 - 3 cm, and place it in a glass of water “head down”, stem up. The recommended length of the stem for rooting is approximately 1 cm; the water in the bowl should cover the cut leaves by 1.5 cm. Cyperus papyrus is propagated only by dividing the bush or by seeds, which must be germinated in the light.

Cyperus can be grown in aquariums filled with water or in winter gardens. Small specimens of all types are suitable for miniature artificial lakes on a balcony, loggia or terrace. Papyrus, unlike other cyperuses, needs more light. And it also requires more oxygen around the roots and regular drying, otherwise the cyperus may rot (the water in the pan should always be fresh). Cyperus can be affected by spider mites and thrips. When the air is too dry, the tips of the leaves turn brown. Cyperus is a favorite treat for cats.

One of the subspecies of the genus papyrus (Cyperus papyrus hadidii) is endangered. This subspecies is found only in Egypt, in a small area in the desert west of the southern Nile Delta, in several small areas around springs.

The most widespread sedges include representatives of the genus Reed (Scirpus), forming extensive thickets along the banks of fresh water bodies... Plants belonging to the large genus Syt are very well known - for example, the famous Papyrus (Cyperus papyrus L.), the stems of which from ancient times to The Middle Ages were the source of paper. It, like reeds, forms extensive thickets along the banks of African rivers and lakes.

Cyperus species

The genus contains from 300 to 600 species of Cyperus, some of them:

• Cyperus albostriatus Schrad. - cyperus, or white-striped
• Cyperus alternifolius L. - cyperus, or umbelliferous, alternate-leaved
• Cyperus amuricus Maxim. - Amur satiate
• Cyperus articulatus L. - jointed squirrel
• Cyperus difformis L. - heterogeneous moth
• Cyperus diffusus Vahl - spreading moth
• Cyperus eragrostis Lam. - the food is strong
• Cyperus esculentus L. typus - edible squid, or Chufa
• Cyperus fuscus L.
• Cyperus glaber L. - smooth moth
• Cyperus glomeratus L. - crowded squid
• Cyperus haspan L.
• Cyperus iria L. - satiated iria
• Cyperus longus L. - long-fed
• Cyperus lucidus R.Br. - satiated brilliantly
• Cyperus rotundus L. - round moth

Cyperus grows in swampy tropical, subtropical and temperate zones, belongs to the sedge family, it is also called Papyrus, Syt or Sytovnik. It is characterized by a thin elegant cut, thin pointed leaves that resemble grass. The leaves on the stem of Cyperus create umbrella rosettes. Most often, Cyperus was the plant from which papyrus paper was produced in Egypt, but nowadays Cyperus is becoming increasingly important when it comes to decorating homes, especially those decorated in a modern style. The species most often grown at home is Cyperus umbelliferum (umbelliferous plant).

Growing and care

When growing cyperus at home, you should keep in mind that this is a marsh plant. The best soil for the plant is flower soil with pieces of charcoal. It will prevent rotting of the roots, which should always be in wet soil. Cyperus needs a fairly high air temperature, ranging from 21 to 27 degrees Celsius, and can withstand up to 30 degrees. In addition, it must be frequently sprayed with water. It is also advisable to fill the stand with water so that it is appropriately high. In winter, watering should be reduced.

Cyperus prefers a sunny place; diffused light is also suitable for it; the plant is not very demanding on lighting. In winter, in the place where the plant stands, the temperature should not be less than 10-12 degrees. In the summer, tsiperus can be taken out into the garden.

Propagation of Cyperus is not too difficult. This can be done by dividing, simply cut a rosette of leaves with part of the stem, cut the leaves in half and plant it in water. Thus, the plant quickly develops roots. Such reproduction fast and efficient

. If you want to divide the plant, it is best to do it in the backyard, since removing the root from the pot can get dirt all over the area. The roots must be separated carefully, cutting off the old and woody parts.

The plant requires fertilization from March to September with a frequency of approximately once every 2 weeks. Fertilizer must be dissolved in water for irrigation. If it turns out that the ends of the cyperus dry out and turn brown , the air may be too dry or the use of hard water for irrigation. Dry air also contributes to the attack of scale insects, spider mites

and mealybugs. If the stem is brittle, over-fertilization may be the cause.

Kinds

(Cyperus alternifolius) is the most popular species grown at home. Its homeland is Madagascar. Grows up to 60 cm in height. At the top of the stem it has thin, sharp leaves arranged in the shape of an umbrella. Flowers appear in its center, greenish-brown in color. Or variegata - this variety has white-green leaves, and Gracilis is a dwarf variety. Papyrus, or Syt papyrus

(Cyperus papyrus) - suitable for ponds, grows to almost 2 meters in height, grows in the wild in the Nile swamps.

(Cyperus diffusus) - native to the island of Mauritius. Characterized by impressive spike-shaped inflorescences that can be up to 30 cm longer than the leaves. The plant grows up to 90 cm.

(Cyperus albostriatus) resembles the previously mentioned species. It has beautiful yellow or cream leaves.

(Cyperus esculentus) is native to India and can also be found in Africa. The plant grows up to 38 cm, has edible tubers, drooping leaves and yellowish-brown inflorescences.

(Cyperus brevifolia) grows in America. The plant forms large clumps. Only three leaves grow at the top of the stem.

Cyperus is an elegant, unpretentious and fast-growing plant. It can be grown both in a pot at home and in the garden by planting it in a container for the summer. The appropriate look can also beautify your pond.
