Leptocarpus laxus is a rush species of the genus Leptocarpus in the family Restionaceae.[2] It is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.[3][4]
Habitat
It grows in moist to wet soils, in swamps, creeks, seasonally wet sites, and near road ditches.[4]
Taxonomy
It was first described by Robert Brown in 1810 as Restio laxus,[2][5] a name he gave to two Restio species.[6][7] This problem of two species with the same name was corrected by Kurt Sprengel in 1825 when he published the name, Restio diffusus, for this species.[6][8] In 1998, Lawrie Johnson and Barbara Briggs transferred R. diffusus to the genus, Leptocarpus.[9] In 2001 in consideration of IUCN rules, the species Leptocarpus diffusus was renamed Leptocarpus laxus by Barbara Briggs.[6]
