Oreobolus pectinatus, commonly known as Comb sedge, cushion sedge, or flat-leaved comb sedge, is a species of flowering plant in the sedge family that is native to the subantarctic islands, and to the North and South Islands of New Zealand. The specific epithet derives from the Latin, pectin and pectinis, ('comb-shaped or like a comb'), and refers to the leaves.
