Isolepis platycarpa is a small, tufted sedge species endemic to native to Australia. It belongs to the Cyperaceae family and is most commonly found coastally in Victoria and Tasmania. This rare plant is most commonly referred to as the flat-fruit club-rush.
Isolepis platycarpa occurs in much of the coastal regions of southeast Australia and ventures quite far inland. It is particularly abundant in Victoria but spreads across borders into New South Wales and South Australia. It is also commonly found in Tasmania, predominantly in the east and south-east, as well as occasionally being observed in the very southern tip of Western Australia below Perth. It is a widespread and versatile plant but generally requires moist growing conditions and partial to full shade. As such, Isolepis platycarpa is often found in swamp scrubs but is also found in moist soils in non-wetland areas.
