Hypolaena fastigiata, commonly known as tassel rope-rush or bundled rope rush, is a plant species in the family Restionaceae. It is endemic to Australia, and commonly found in sandy-soil habitats. It is distinctive among other species in Hypolaena due to ascending culms with a round cross section, glaucous colour when young, glabrous when mature, and very small fruit dangling creating a tassal like appearance.
