About Bulbostylis barbata (Rottb.) C.B.Clarke
Bulbostylis barbata is a flowering plant species belonging to the sedge family, Cyperaceae, and it is native to Western Australia. This annual grass-like plant has a tufted growth habit, and typically reaches between 2 and 35 centimetres (1 to 14 inches) in height. It flowers between February and September, and produces brown blooms. It is rarely found growing alone.

In these areas, it grows in sandy-loamy alluvium over sandstone and granite bedrock.
