Cyperus astartodes is a sedge of the family Cyperaceae that is native to northern parts of Australia .[1]
The perennial sedge typically grows to a height of 0.3 to 1 metre (1.0 to 3.3 ft) and has a tufted habit. The plant blooms between April and May producing yellow-brown flowers.[2]
In Western Australia it is found on rocky slopes and outcrops in the Kimberley region where it grows in sandy-loamy soils often around sandstone.[2] It is also found in the Northern Territory.[1]
The species was first described in 1991 by Karen Wilson.[3][4]
