Fimbristylis elegans is a sedge of the family Cyperaceae that is native to Australia.
The annual grass-like or herb sedge typically grows to a height of 0.1 to 0.3 metres (0.33 to 0.98 ft) and has a tufted habit. It blooms between April and July and produces brown flowers.[1]
In Western Australia it is found along creeks and streams in the Kimberley and Pilbara regions where it grows in sandy soils around limestone.[1]
