Carex solandri, Forest sedge,  or Solander's sedge is endemic to the North, South and Stewart Islands. It is found in coastal to montane areas, usually in riparian forest where it may be the dominant sedge of alluvial terraces, and riversides but also colonising wet seepages and slip scars. 

It is common sedge (H 60cm x W 50cm) with drooping fresh green leaves forming yellow-green tufts. Usually found in association with Carex dissita. It prefers damp shade, although can tolerate some dryness, and it is widely used for revegetation and restoration planting.
