@PEdwards Good morning !
Please notice that you have duplicated this sighting with a synonym here: Sighting: # 4697913 : Lepidosperma laterale
In your view which of these two synonyms has currency.
Have you read, studied and formed a view of this scholarly taxonomy update :
• Larridon, I., Zuntini, A.R., Barrett, R.L., Wilson, K.L., Bruhl, J.J., Goetghebeur, P., Baker, W.J., Brewer, G.E., Epitawalage, N., Fairlie, I., Forest, F., Sabino Kikuchi, I.A.B., Pokorny, L., Semmouri, I., Spalink, D., Simpson, D.A., Muasya, A.M. & Roalson, E.H. (2021 January 4)
Resolving generic limits in Cyperaceae tribe Abildgaardieae using targeted sequencing.
Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society 196 : 163–187 .
I have not read this due to busy on other priorities .
The Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria still has to get around to reaching a collective view on these name changes,
hence APC(–APNI) at the moment recognises _Abildgaardia vaginata_ R.Br. as the accepted name while APC(–APNI) has documented the change from the above reference to _Fimbristylis vaginata_ .
The Flora of NSW online PlantNet has accepted the name _Fimbristylis vaginata_ .
While in the 1993 printed Flora of NSW this species had the name _Abildgaardia vaginata_ .

I wonder about the effectiveness of cutting and dabbing. There seems to be a lot of regrowth, especially if the cut stem is over 7cm long. Do you have any figures?
