The perennial sedge typically grows to a height of 0.7 to 1.2 metres (2.3 to 3.9 ft) and produces brown flowers.[1]

In Western Australia it is found in the Kimberley, Pilbara and Goldfields-Esperance regions where it grows in sandy-loamy soils.[1] It is also found in seasonally wet areas through the Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales[2]

There are two known subspecies:

  • Cyperus betchei (Kuek.) S.T.Blake subsp. betchei[3]
