Actinoschoenus

Actinoschoenus is a genus of the sedge family. According to a 2021 taxonomic revision based on molecular data, it is considered to consist of two species, namely Actinoschoenus aphyllus (Vahl) Larridon and Actinoschoenus repens J.Raynal. Reference databases Plants of the World Online and the World Flora Online Plantlist also consider Actinoschoenus yunnanensis (C.B.Clarke) Y.C.Tang to be part of the genus. Previously, Actinoschoenus was circumscribed more widely, and also included five species native to Australia:


 * Actinoschoenus arthrostyloides (W.Fitzg.) K.L.Clarke, K.L.Wilson & J.J.Bruhl
 * Actinoschoenus glabrispiculus Rye, R.L.Barrett & M.D.Barrett
 * Actinoschoenus pentagonus Rye, R.L.Barrett & M.D.Barrett
 * Actinoschoenus quadricostatus Rye, R.L.Barrett & M.D.Barrett
 * Actinoschoenus ramosus Rye, R.L.Barrett & M.D.Barrett

Those species are now considered to form a separate genus, Scleroschoenus K.L.Wilson, J.J.Bruhl & R.L.Barrett.
