Cyathochaeta equitans

Cyathochaeta equitans is a sedge of the family Cyperaceae that is native to Australia.[1]

The perennial sedge typically grows to a height of 0.6 to 1.2 metres (2.0 to 3.9 ft) with a tussock-like habit. The plant blooms between January and February producing brown flowers.[1]

In Western Australia it is found mostly along the coast in the Wheatbelt, Peel, South West, Great Southern and Goldfields-Esperance regions where it grows in sandy soils.[1]

It was first described in 1997 by Karen Wilson.[2][3]
