| Leptocarpus
tenax is a reasonably common native herb in heaths,
sedgelands and open, wet forest understoreys. It is a
more-or-less typical member of Restionaceae, with erect,
unbranched, cylindrical stems with several scarious bracts,
and terminal inflorescences of multiple spikelets. The stems
are bluish, typically to 1.1 m tall, and the inflorescences
relatively large and complex.
Apodasmia brownii was
previously included in Leptocarpus.
