Cyathochaeta is a genus of rhizomatous perennial sedges.[1]
They have culms that are mostly noded. The leaves are mostly basal, often with one cauline and have ligule membranes. When flowering they produce a panicle-like, narrow inflorescence with distant nodes containing several spikelets at each node with a single bisexual flower.[2]
There are six known species all of which are endemic to Australia.[2]
The genera was first described in 1848 by the German botanist Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees von Esenbeck.[1]
