Carex gunniana var. brevior Kük.

Carex gunniana is an Australia species of sedge that was first described in 1845 by Boott in the Proceedings of the Linnean Society of London.[2][3] It is native to eastern Australia and Tasmania.[1]

Two varieties have been named, both in 1909 by Georg Kükenthal.[4] As of 2020, the Tasmanian endemic Carex gunniana var. barbata is maintained as a separate species, Carex barbata, in Kew's Plants of the World Online,[5] and C. gunniana var. brevior is not accepted as a separate taxon than C. gunniana.[6]
