Chordifex laxus is a rush-like sedge relative (Restionaceae) endemic to south-west Western Australia. It is a wild species rarely grown in gardens, so care is mostly inferred from its native fynbos-type habitat.
Chordifex laxus is a rush species of the genus Chordifex in the family Restionaceae. It is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.
It was first described by Robert Brown in 1810 as Restio laxus, but was transferred to the genus, Chordifex by Lawrie Johnson and Barbara Briggs in 1998.
