Where it grows

Schoenus crassiculmis has a distribution that ranges from the Worcester area of the Western Cape Province in the west to the Willowmore area of the Eastern Cape Province in the east. This species has predominately been collected from sandstone-derived mountain slopes, but a few collections have also been made from sites with shale parent material.
