Lepidosperma amantiferrum is a tufted, rhizomatous sedge which typically grows to a height of 0.42 metres (1.4 ft). Its leaves and culms are distichous (i.e., arranged in two rows on opposite sides of a stem and in the same plane). In Western Australia it is found in the IBRA Mallee biogeographic region where it grows in yellow sandy loam with banded ironstone gravel and rocks on gentle lower slopes.[1]
