Schoenus tesquorum is an aquatic sedge belonging to the family Cyperaceae, commonly known as the grassy bog-rush or the soft bogsedge. It is native to southeastern Australia and can be found in various wetland sites. tesquorum comes from the Latin tesqua, meaning 'of rough or wild regions'.
This species has been noted across several studies to be found in a wide range of wetland environments, particularly in Victoria and Tasmania, though it has been observed in southern New South Wales and eastern South Australia. It is a tolerant species, frequently observed in inland freshwater systems at elevations above 1,000 metres (3,281 ft) - such as around Tasmania's highland Lakes, and down to sea level, where it has also been found on saline lagoons.
