Chordifex (formerly known as Acion and as part of Restio; Restionaceae) 4b:46
Tasmania has two species of Chordifex. Both are common native herbs in waterlogged peats (often occurring in button grass sedgelands). They are more-or-less typical members of Restionaceae, with cylindrical stems with several scarious bracts, and terminal inflorescences of spikelets. The two species are similar in habit, having straight, unbranched stems (often 20 or 30 cm tall), terminating in one or a few ovoid spikelets (a few mm long).
