In the Flora of NSW online PlantNet botanical key,
IMHO this keys out to _Lepidosperma_laterale_ with the leaves of the narrowest width within the width–range stated in the _Lepidosperma_laterale_ key branch –quotation:
" Culms flat, or slightly convex on 1 face, or concavo-convex, 30–100 cm long, 2–8 mm wide " .
Many more species are known to occur 'hiding in plain sight' as overlooked species undescribed as yet by European–ethnocentric origin science, which nowadays does have at least clues about these many undescribed species and some scholarly publications referring to them, including those so far included in the broad sense of _Lepidosperma_laterale_ .
