GPSed. Recovering after being grazed down by sheep in April 2023. Same plants as at sighting 4508792 taken in May 2023. Density of leaf tufting and continuity of deeply divided (& notched) mid-rib along the length of the leaves similar to very nearby confirmed C. appressa sighting 4523489 located to the northeast, just on the other (eastern) side of Dry Plains Rd.

Actually Andrew as has been pointed out to me - I think I have confused the chewing of the end of the leaves as the normal leaf ends of Lomandra - when you were right all along. @JaneR

Sorry Mike not sure to make of your comment? Is the sighting in fact C. appressa?

Ok, so this is certainly a carex, but i don't think C.appressa. Could be the exotic C.distachia
