Was concerned about it spreading. Apparently, has no vine

Interspersed with St. Augustine in some locations near the house.

Those three-ranked leaves are a clue it's a sedge, though I can't
begin to identify it from that photo.

I've successfully killed small populations of yellow nutsedge
(Cyperus esculentus) by putting on a cotton glove over a nitrile
glove, and then dipping finger and thumb into some glyphosate. Draw
the leaves of the sedge between finger and thumb.. then move on to
the next plant. Tedious, but effective.
