Summary

[edit]
Description Native, cool season, perennial sedge with stems 15–100 cm tall and 1–2 mm diam., spread along relatively stout rhizomes. Leaves are reduced to orange-brown sheaths. Flowerheads are dense globose or hemispherical heads 7–20 mm diam., with numerous spikelets; involucral bract rigid, pungent and exceeding the flowerhead. Glumes are 2–2.5 mm long and red-brown. Stamens 3. Style 3-fid. Nut plano-convex to unequally trigonous, smooth, glossy and dark brown to black. Flowering: spring. Widespread on coastal sand, beside sea and lakes. Previously known as Isolepis nodosa, but more closely related to the Ficinia spp. of southern Africa, which mostly have a more conspicuous disc below the nut.
