Description

This specimen is a wild clump of Red-berried Saw-sedge, a grass-like plant native to Australia, shown in its natural environment. It is characterized by its long, strap-like green leaves and prominent clusters of small, round, orange-red berries. While not a traditional bonsai subject, its upright growth habit could be conceptually aligned with an informal-upright style if it were to be cultivated in a container.
