User's notes
_Lepidosperma laeve_ one of the 'clustered sword sedge' species.
(formerly locally we called *Lepidosperma congestum*,
from the early '90s taught to me by David Albrecht (botanist) then working in Melb. Herbarium) .
Developing inflorescence, not yet fully expanded. Not until after expansion into full flowering and fruiting does these inflorescences – infructescences settle into the final and well known, congested form .
Note the very long sheathing bracts on the base of each branch of the inflorescence.
Note the "Intermediate inflorescence bracts not elongate or prominent, shorter than the spikelet clusters. " – reference: Plunkett, Bruhl and Wilson (2018) page 361 .
