Carex alsophila, commonly known as forest sedge,[1] is a tussock-forming species of perennial sedge in the family Cyperaceae. It is native to Victoria in south eastern Australia.[2]
The sedge has a short rhizome and tufted shoots that are densely packed together. The erect culms have a triangular cross section and can be smooth or have a rough texture. The culms are 30 to 100 cm (12 to 39 in) in length and have a diameter of 1.5 to 2.5 mm (0.059 to 0.098 in).[1]
The species was formally described by the botanist Ferdinand von Mueller in 1874 as a part of the work Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae.[3]
It is only found in southern Victoria in the Gippsland, Highlands and Victorian Alps regions.[1]
