Schoenus schonlandii
Eastern Veldrush (Schoenus schonlandii) is a sedge-like grass relative from South Africa's southern coast, native to dry slopes, ridges and bushy places. It is a wild species with little cultivation information, so it is mainly of interest to botanists and native-plant growers.
