Xyris isoetifolia, the quillwort yelloweyed grass,[1] is a plant species native to southern Alabama and to the Florida panhandle,[2] where it is found in coastal plains, Sphagnum bogs, and the edges of sinkholes.[3][4]

Xyris isoetifolia is a perennial herb up to 40 cm (16 inches) tall. Leaves are rather narrow, and twisted, rarely more than 1 mm in width but up to 15 cm (6 inches) long, thus superficially resembling those of Isoetes.[3][5][6]
