Carex alliiformis is a tussock-forming perennial sedge in the family Cyperaceae. It is native to eastern parts of Asia.
The sedge has a short rhizome with long running stolons that are covered in bladeless, red to brown coloured sheaths. The loosely tufted culms are quite thick with a triangular cross-section and are usually 25 to 45 cm (10 to 18 in) in height. The flat green leaves are mostly longer than the culms and have a width of 7 to 14 mm (0.28 to 0.55 in) with two prominent lateral veins.
