Eleocharis equisetiformis
is a perennial herb that grows 30-60cm high,
extending rhizomes sideways and inhabiting sparsely in sandy soil
wetlands. The stems are cylindrical and approximately 2mm in
diameter, with ridges that resemble vertical lines. The stem tips
bear spicules, and the stigma is divided into two parts. There are 0
to 4 needle-shaped perianth segments. This species rarely occurs,
and the Ministry of the Environment designates it as a VU. Bloom
