Gymnostachys is a monotypic genus (i.e. a genus which contains only one species) in the arum plant family Araceae. The sole described species is Gymnostachys anceps,[1][2] commonly known as settler's flax, settler's twine or boorgay.[3] It is native to coastal and sub-coastal parts of eastern Australia, from near Ulladulla, New South Wales, to around Rossville at the base of Cape York Peninsula.[4][5]

Gymnostachys is placed in the subfamily Gymnostachydoideae[6] due to its unique characteristics that include an unusually structured flowering shoot and linear leaves with parallel venation.[citation needed]
