Pondmegastore Tip Cyperus Papyrus is a member of the sedge family.  Egyptian Papyrus once grew wild along the banks of the Nile River in Egypt. Egyptians used Papyrus as the first form of paper in early Egypt, as early as 3000 B.C. Using Papyrus for writing material was eventually adopted by the Greeks and Romans. Papyrus was also used to make mats, rope, baskets, sandals as well as many other items.
