Carex tasmanica explained

Carex tasmanica, called curly sedge (a name its shares with a few other members of its genus), is a species of flowering plant in the family Cyperaceae, native to Victoria and Tasmania states in Australia.[1] It gets its common name from the distinctive helical spirals its leaves form when they dry out.[2] Considered a threatened species, none of its populations are in a protected area.[3]
