Eleocharis quinqueflora is a species of spikesedge known by the common names fewflower spikerush[2] and few-flowered spike-rush.[3] It is widespread across Europe, North Africa, northern Asia (Siberia, China, Kazakhstan, Himalayas, etc.), and North America (Canada, Greenland, northern and western US). There are also isolated populations in Argentina and Chile.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
