Bulbostylis burbidgeae is a flowering plant in the sedge family, Cyperaceae, that is native to Western Australia. [1]

The annual grass-like plant has a tufted to erect and spreading habit and typically grows to a height of 3 to 25 centimetres (1 to 10 in). It blooms between March and August producing brown flowers.

It is found among granite outcrops and at cliff bases in the Pilbara region north of Newman where it grows in granitic soils. [1]

The species was first described in 1980 by Karen Wilson, and the species epithet, burbidgeae, honours Nancy Burbidge. [2] [3]

<i>Ptilothrix deusta</i> Species of grass-like plant

Ptilothrix deusta is a sedge in the family Cyperaceae found in south eastern Australia. It is commonly seen in wet sandy soils in heathland, growing from 30 to 60 cm tall. This is one of the many plants first published by Robert Brown with the type known as "(J.) v.v." appearing in his Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen in 1810 as Carpha deusta. It was transferred to the genus, Ptilothrix, in 1994 by Karen Wilson. The genus name is derived from ancient Greek, meaning feather hair. The specific epithet deusta is derived from the Latin with a meaning of burnt.
