Ficinia indica

Ficinia indica is a perennial sedge that typically thrives in coastal sand dunes and other saline environments. It features slender, erect stems topped with inflorescences of small, brown flowers. The grass-like leaves are adapted to conserve water, a trait beneficial in its arid habitat. Ficinia indica's hardiness and ability to stabilize sandy soil contribute to its ecological importance.
