Schoenus compar
Also called Rush Tetrar, Rush Veldrush
Schoenus compar (ivory veldrush) is a species of sedge endemic to southern South Africa.
Schoenus compar mostly occurs in southwestern South Africa, although it reaches Humansdorp in the East and the Cederberg mountains in the north. It is a species that grows on coarser growing substrates (e.g. sand or rocks) at lower elevations (20 m to over 800 m) than other Southern African Schoenus species. This species mostly grows on dry sites among fynbos vegetation.
