Cyperaceae Juss.
Lepidosperma prospectum G.T.Plunkett & R.L.Barrett , legitimate scientific apni Barrett, R.L., Plunkett, G.T., Bruhl, J.J. & Wilson, K.L. (6 May 2022), Lepidosperma prospectum (Cyperaceae), a new species from Sydney coastal heath and notes on usage of sword sedges. Telopea 25: 74-90, Figs 1-4 [tax. nov.]
  • Type: "Royal National Park, Jibbon Trail, near Jibbon Head, New South Wales, 15 September 2020, R.L. Barrett RLB 9330 (holo: NSW 1119251; iso: BM, CANB, MEL)."
  • Etymology: "The epithet is from the Latin verb prospicio, -ere, -exi, prospectum (to look into the distance, have a view), in reference to the coastal and somewhat elevated habitat of this species behind the sea-cliffs. It is from such vantage points that the Gamaragal, Gweagal and Dharawal people would have observed the first Europeans arriving by boat some 250 years ago. The epithet is chosen to acknowledge the deep historical and living indigenous knowledge of the Australian environments gained through careful observation. In contrast, the recent recognition of this species highlights a gap in the documented European knowledge of the Sydney region since Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander first collected plants (but not this species) around Botany Bay 250 years ago."
