Understanding which species occur within a bioregion and eliminating those which do not match with habitat and morphology is a good means at arriving to species level. X. glauca angustifolia and X. resinosa are the only other candidates in this area, neither of which resemble this specimen.

The growth habit and characteristics and geographic location of this specimen do not fit with X. australis. X. australis does not even occur in the Canberra region. This plants appears subterranean-branched with more than a single crown, and the flower scape is too long in relation to the spike. The geographic region and morphology is clearly X. concava.

Hi Mark. Any luck when checking your collection, or do we still regard it as an Undescribed species?

Uncertain about the ID of this: these spikelets are rounded, and for Cyperus eragrostis spikelets should be flattened. Also, its very short for Cyperus eragrostis (less than 10 cm).
