Lepidosperma urophorum, the rapier saw sedge is a forest dwelling plant found in south eastern Australia . Often found on sandy soils near streams. It may grow to 1.5 metres high.[1]
The specific epithet urophorum is derived from the Greek meaning "tail-bearing". Which refers to the slender inflorescence. It is distinguished from Lepidosperma flexuosum by the flower panicle branchlets being straight, rather than crooked.[2]
