Chorizandra enodis, commonly known as black bristle rush or black bristle sedge, is a sedge of the family Cyperaceae that is native to Australia.
The monoecious and rhizomatous perennial sedge has a loosely clumped tufted habit. It typically grows to a height of 0.2to and a width of 1m (03feet). The plant blooms between July and November producing purple-brown-black flowers.
It forms a single terminal flowerhead that is spherical and dense with a diameter of 7to. It is sheathed in a 20cm (10inches) long bract which extends the stem. Floral bracts have white hairs on the tip and red hairs along the margin.[1]
In Western Australia it is found in swampy and seepage areas along the coast of the Mid West, Wheatbelt, South West, Great Southern and Goldfields-Esperance regions where it grows in lateritic sandy-clay soils.
