Thank you all.

سعد شائك

من فصيلة السعديات
https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/سعد
From the list of its species it's obvious the Arabic name is a direct translation from Latin

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyperus_gymnocaulos
The plant's common name is "spiny flatsedge", and spiny is probably what gymnocaulos means in Latin, though I could not confirm it with online dictionaries
So in Arabic I suggest السعد الشائك أو الشوكي

Note from asker:
Do you suggestions for the second one (vaginatus), or do you want me to put it in separate question? Thank you.

نبات السعادي الاسترالي/سعادي مشوك استرالي/سعادي استرالي بن الازهار

From your reference of Wiki;
"Cyperus gymnocaulos, commonly known as spiny flatsedge,"
Here we have brown flatsedge in Al Maany
https://www.almaany.com/ar/dict/ar-en/flatsedge/

From same reference
" is a sedge of the family Cyperaceae that is native to Australia"

We have carex :
"Carex is a vast genus of more than 2,000 species[3] of grass-like plants in the family Cyperaceae, commonly known as sedges (or seg, in older books)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carex

in Arabic:
السعادي او النمص
https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/سعادى

So my suggestion:
سعادي استرالي
سعادي مشوك استرالي
سعادي استرالي بني الازهار

It has brown flowers
"........ producing brown flowers."
