Eleocharis sphacelata
Kutakuta, spikes of doom, bamboo spike sedge, tall spike sedge
Eleocharis sphacelata is a taller species, growing to about 1m, which spreads from a creeping rhizome and has thick hollow stems of bright green. This sedge is found throughout New Zealand, although it is less common from the lower North Island southward. It grows in swamps and on lake edges, and is often partially submerged, so it is a useful plant for such situations in full sun.
