Schoenus pedicellatus is a species in family Cyperaceae, first described by Robert Brown in 1810 as Chaetospora pedicellata,[1] but assigned to the genus, Schoenus, in 1811 by Jean Louis Marie Poiret.[2] Note that GBIF and Plants of the World Online both give the genus change as being by Roem. (Johann Jacob Roemer) & Schult. (Josef August Schultes)[3] However the species is Australian and the text by Poiret is earlier than that of Roemer and Schultes.
It is a tufted sedge growing in clumps of up to 0.2 m and flowers from July to December or January. It is endemic to Western Australia,[4] [5] where it is found growing on various sands.
