Cyperus microcephalus is a sedge of the family Cyperaceae that is native to Australia.[1]
The erect perennial sedge typically grows to a height of 0.2 to 1.2 metres (0.7 to 3.9 ft) and has a tufted habit. It blooms between January and July and produces green-yellow-brown flowers.[1]
In Western Australia it is found on rocky hillsides, cliffs, among boulders, in rock crevices and in creek beds in the Kimberley region where it grows in sandy soils over sandstone.[1]
