Carex subinflata is a sedge of the Cyperaceae family that is native to southern parts of Africa in the Cape Provinces, the Free State, Lesotho and KwaZulu-Natal.
The sedge is a perennial herb with a tufted habit that typically grows to a height of 0.3 to 0.9 m (1 ft 0 in to 2 ft 11 in). It has flat or sometimes folded leaves with a blade that is around 220 mm (8.7 in) long and 6 to 10 mm (0.24 to 0.39 in) wide. Usually the upper part of the leaf is glabrous and the lower surface is covered in small round protuberances. The culms are triangular in cross section and have a diameter of 1.5 to 2 mm (0.059 to 0.079 in). The simple inflorescence at the end of the culm is a small cluster of spikes that is 65 to 110 mm (2.6 to 4.3 in) long.
