    Eleocharis bolanderi, commonly known as Bolander's spikerush, is a species of spikesedge. It is native to the western United States from Colorado west to Oregon and California.[1][2] It grows in wet spots in several types of habitat, including mountain meadows and springs. It is a rhizomatous perennial herb producing erect, hairless stems 10 to 30 centimeters tall. The narrow, wispy leaves often have purple or reddish speckles and purplish tinting around the bases.
