Summary

[edit]
Description Native, warm season, perennial, erect, slender, rhizomatous sedge 30–90 (rarely to 120) cm tall. Leaves are strap-like and 2–7 mm wide. Flowerheads are compact heads of 3–6 spikelets, or with 1–3 spikelet clusters on branches 1–4 cm long; the involucral bracts are 4–22 cm long and 1.5–2.5 mm wide. Spikelets are 1–2 cm long and have numerous bisexual flowers. Glumes are about 7 mm long (plus mucro 2 mm long) and yellow-brown. Nuts have hypogynous bristles about half as long as nut and usually deciduous. Styles are 2-fid. Nuts are lenticular with concave faces, broad-obovoid, 3.5–4 mm long, 2.5–3 mm diam., straw-coloured to dark golden brown, shining and minutely but obviously reticulate. Flowering is in spring and summer. Occasional, in fresh-brackish swamps or inland along artesian bore drains.
