Flowering spike of Carex cephalotes (snow sedge) growing in the RTBG nursery. Up until 2018 Carex cephalotes was only known in Tasmania from a single specimen collected from Mt Anne back in 1986. In 2019 populations were discovered on the DuCane Range and on Ben Lomond indicating that the species is more widespread but overlooked. Carex cephalotes is an alpine species typically associated with snow depressions.
