Fimbristylis microcarya is a sedge of the family Cyperaceae that is native to Australia.
The annual grass-like or herb sedge typically grows to a height of 5 to 40 centimetres (1.97 to 15.75 in) and has a tufted habit. It blooms between February and July and produces brown flowers.[1]
In Western Australia, it is found in and around swamps and claypans and along creeks and rivers in the Kimberley and Pilbara regions where it grows in brown clay-sand or red loam soils.[1]
