Description Rhizome long; shoots loosely tufted. Culms erect, trigonous, smooth below, scabrous above, 10–35 cm long, to 1 mm diam. Leaves usually shorter than culms; blade 0.7–1.7 mm wide; sheath pale brown; ligule rounded or obtuse. Inflorescence erect, narrow, 1.5–2.5 cm long, with 6–12 spikes solitary at nodes; lowest involucral bract shorter than inflorescence. Spikes sessile, contiguous, appressed or slightly spreading at maturity, to 0.5 cm long; uppermost spike androgynous; lower spikes female or androgynous. Glumes acute, dark yellow-brown to red-brown, with broad whitish or hyaline margins; female glumes 3.3–4 mm long. Perigynia (utricles) ovoid, nerveless, 3.0–4.0 mm long, 1.0–1.2 mm diam., shortly hispid on angles, green to red-brown; short beak c. 1 mm long, with apex split abaxially or 2-fid. Anthers 1.8–3 mm long excluding appendage c. 0.1 mm long. Style 2-fid. Nut ovoid, lenticular in cross section, yellow-brown. [details]
