The rhizomatous perennial grass-like or herb sedge typically grows to a height of 0.25 to 0.8 metres (1 to 3 ft). It blooms between February and September and produces brown flowers.[3]
In Western Australia it is found near the coast, on dunes and behind mangroves in the Kimberley region where it grows in sandy-clay alluvium around basalt or sandstone rocks.[3]
