Description Herbs perennial. Rhizome short, ligneous» thick. Culms lateral, 20-90 cm tall, obtusely trigonous, covered with dark brown fibrous sheaths at base. Leaves shorter than culms; leaf-blade pale green or yellowish green, flat, revolute, leathery, 2. 5-5 mm wide, acuminate at apex, scabrous on margins. Involucral bracts shortly leaf-like, shorter than inflorescence, sheathed; sheaths 1-4 cm long, obliquely truncate at orifice, Inflorescence paniculate, with 3 or 4 spikes; terminal spike staminate, clavate or clavate-cylindrical, 3-8 cm long, 3. 5-5 mm wide, with a long peduncle at base; lateral spikes pistillate, cylindrical, 1. 5-5 cm long, 8-10 mm wide, densely or slightly densely flowered, bearing a few staminate flowers at apex, pedunculate; peduncles exserted from sheaths, or enclosed. Staminate scales lanceolate» brownish red, 7-8 mm long» acuminate at apex, brown l-veined costa on dorsal surface. Pistillate scales ovate-lanceolate to ovate, pale green, 5-5. 5 mm long Cincluding awn), acuminate or emarginate at apex, green 3-veined costa excurrent into a short awn. Perigynia ellipsoid or ovoid (excluding beak), 6-8. 5 mm long, longer than pistillate scales (including beak), obliquely patent, obtusely trigonous, papery, yellowish green, distinctly veined, glabrous, gradually contracted into a beak; orifice 2-lobed with long teeth. Stigmas 3; style thicken at base.
