Bulbostylis barbata is a sedge in the Cyperaceae family that is native to Western Australia.[1]

The annual grass-like sedge has a tufted habit and typically grows to a height of 2 to 35 centimetres (0 to 1 ft). It blooms between February to September producing brown flowers.

It is rarely solitary and is found in rock crevices and along creek and rivers and on low-lying flats throughout a large area of the Kimberley, Pilbara, Mid West and Goldfields-Esperance regions where it grows in sandy-loamy alluvium over sandstone and granite.[1]
