Machaerina johnsonii is a flowering plant in the sedge family. The species was first described in 1980 as Baumea johnsonii by Karen Wilson,[3] who reassigned it in 2015 to the genus, Machaerina.[4][5] The species epithet honours L.A.S. Johnson.[4][3]
It is found only in New South Wales, with the type specimen having been collected at Govetts Leap in the Blue Mountains.[4][3]
It flowers from spring to summer and is found in sheltered, permanently damp positions below cliffs and along creeks.[6]
