Description Perennial herbs. Rhizomes indurate, obliquely ascending. Culms 20–50 cm tall, trigonous, slender, glabrous, smooth,
with many grayish brown fibrous sheaths at base. Leaves shorter than culms; blades 1–1.5 mm wide, slightly revolute,
scabrous at margins. Involucral bracts leaflike or setaceous, nearly equaling the inflorescence, sheathing; sheaths
4–20 mm long, with the lowest longer than others. Spikes 2–4; terminal spike staminate, with 1–4 pistillate flowers
at base, clavate-cylindrical, 7–12 mm long, ca. 2 mm wide, with ca. 1 cm long peduncle; lateral spikes pistillate,
shortly cylindrical, 5–15 mm long, 3–5 mm wide, densely flowered. Staminate scales ovate-lanceolate, 4.5–5 mm
long, brown, white-hyaline at margin, acuminate at apex, with costa yellowish brown, 1-veined. Pistillate scales
ovate, 3–3.5 mm long, pale reddish brown, white-hyaline at margin, acuminate at apex, with costa yellowish brown,
3-veined, sometimes with short excurrent awn; costa sometimes sparsely hispidulous. Perigynia ovoid-lanceolate,
compressed trigonous (excluding beak), longer than pistillate scales (including beak), 4.5–6 mm long, greenish yellow,
membranaceous, densely whitish hispidulous, 4 or 5-veined dorsally, gradually attenuate and short-stipitate at base,
gradually contracted into a ca. 1 mm long beak at apex; orifice 2 lobed with short teeth, sparsely hispidulous at margin. Achenes loosely enveloped, oblong [details]
