Fimbristylis puberula, commonly called hairy fimbry,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the sedge family (Cyperaceae).

It is native to North America, where it has a widespread, but patchy, distribution.

[3] Its natural habitat is in prairies, savannas, and glades.

[4] It is a perennial that produces fruits in late spring and early summer.

It has historically been confused with the similar-looking Fimbristylis caroliniana, which is restricted to coastal areas.
