Eurychorda (formerly known as Restio complanatus; Restionaceae) 4b:46
Tasmania has one species of Eurychorda (E. complanata). It is common native herb in waterlogged peats (especially button grass sedgelands). It is a more-or-less typical member of Restionaceae, with erect stems bearing several scarious bracts, and terminal inflorescences of spikelets. It is easily distinguished from all other Tasmanian Restionaceae by its flattened stems- in all other species the stems are circular in cross-section.
