Description Plants densely cespitose. Culms 20–50 cm, smooth. Leaves 2.5–5 mm wide. Inflorescences: proximal bracts shorter than or exceeding inflorescences; spikes contiguous, overlapping, distinct or the proximal separate and pendent, elongate, 10–25 × 6–10 mm; proximal long-pendunculate; lateral 3–6 spikes pistillate or, rarely, gynecandrous; terminal spike gynecandrous. Pistillate scales chestnut or brownish black with hyaline margins, lanceolate, equaling or longer than and narrower than perigynia, midvein same color as body, inconspicuous, slightly raised, prominent. Perigynia ascending, purple-brown with green or pale yellow margins, veinless, broadly ovate, 3–4 × 2.25–3.5 mm, apex abruptly beaked, distally papillose; beak 0.3–0.5 mm, entire or shallowly bidentate, smooth. Achene filling proximal 1/2 or less of perigynium. [details]
