Fimbristylis acuminata | |
Fimbristylis acuminata, commonly known as pointed fimbristylis, is a sedge of the Cyperaceae family that is found in tropical areas extending from India, through parts of South East Asia and into northern Australia.[1]
The rhizomatous perennial grass-like or herb sedge typically grows to a height of 0.3 metres (0.98 ft) and has a tufted habit. It blooms between May and August and produces brown flowers.[2]
In Western Australia it is found along creeks and in other damp areas in the Kimberley region where it grows in muddy-loamy soils.[2]
