Abstract
Cyperus papyrus was rediscovered in two stands on the eastern bank of the Damietta branch of the Nile Delta.
The first stand is located at Sharabas village ca. 24 km south of Damietta. The growth of papyrus at this site is
rich and giant where the habitat conditions are favorable for swampy vegetation. The second stand is recorded at
Dahtora about one kilometer north of Zifta town with a feeble growth of an average height of one meter.
Ecological notes and reasons of extinction of this important sedge are briefly discussed.
