Wilson, K.L. (10 March 1997), New species of Cyperaceae in Western Australia. Nuytsia 11(2): 269-271 [tax. nov.]

• Type: Intersection of Malle Rd and Ridge Rd, Whicher Range, south-south-east of Busselton, Western Australia, 19 November 1994, K.L. Wilson 8959 & K. Frank (holo: NSW; iso: K, PERTH).

• Etymology: From the Latin equitare. to ride, referring to the strongly equitant base of the plant, whereby the flattened leaf bases are in two rannks, 'riding' over their neighbours. This condition is best developed in this species; of the other species, only C. clandestina shows partial flattening of the bases.
