Cyperus sexflorus is a sedge of the family Cyperaceae that is native to Australia.[1]
The rhizomatous, perennial, herbaceous, grass-like sedge typically grows to a height of 0.3 to 0.75 metres (1.0 to 2.5 ft). It blooms between January and July, producing brown flowers.[1]
In Western Australia it is found amongst sandstone rocks in the Kimberley region where it grows in sandy soils.[1] It is also found across the top end of the Northern Territory.[2]
