AUSTRALIAN SEDGE (Carex longebrachiata) is potentially a serious weed on North Island hill country which lacks a vigorous sward. Its recognition as a weed, acknowledged by its inclusion in the Noxious Weeds Act in 1962, was delayed until some infestations were completely out of control. This account summarizes existing information on this plant with particular reference to the northern part of New Zealand.
