Cyperus conicus
species of plant
Cyperus conicus is a sedge of the family Cyperaceae that is native to northern and north eastern parts of Australia.
The perennial, rhizomatous and leafy sedge typically grows to a height of 0.2 to 1 metre (0.7 to 3.3 ft) in height and has a tufted habit. It blooms between March and July producing brown flowers.
It is found in the Kimberley, Pilbara and northern Goldfields regions of Western Australia where it grows in sandy-clay and lateritic loamy soils. The range of the plant extends across the north eastwards through the Northern Territory and Queensland and then south into New South Wales.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Cyperus conicus” as species of plant. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as species of plant. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15531551. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
