Gahnia filum, the chaffy saw-sedge, is a tussock-forming perennial in the family Cyperaceae, endemic to Australia. It grows to between 60 and 110 cm in height.[1]

The species occurs in coastal salt marsh in the states of New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia.[1][2]

The caterpillar of the yellow sedge-skipper butterfly uses this species for shelter during daylight hours, binding the leaves with silk. By night it feeds on the grass.[3] Ghania is being planted at Aldinga Washpool in South Australia in order to provided habitat for the endangered butterfly.[4]
