Eleocharis acuta (Common Spike-rush)

A quote from "Flora of the A.C.T." Nancy T. Burbidge & Max Gray: "the uppermost leaf sheath thickened, truncate and mucronate at orifice". Mucronate means "ending with a stiff point". The Sample Photos show this feature, which is diagnostic of the species. The drawing below is from that book.

Eleocharis acuta is listed in the following regions:

Canberra & Southern Tablelands  |  Albury, Wodonga  |  South Coast  |  Far West New South Wales  |  Loddon Mallee
