Description Perennial evergreen herbs. Rhizome short, stout, densely caespitose. Culms central, slender, stiff, 30–70 cm tall, slightly shorter than leaves, obtusely trigonous, smooth. Leaves basal and cauline; blades flat, 3–5 mmwide, stiff, scabrous on adaxial side and along margins, smooth on abaxial sides; basal sheaths with leaf blades, dark brown, strongly fibrillose. Flowers October to December. Inflorescence racemose, with 35 spikes, borue on upper 1/2 of culm, remote, solitary at each node; terminal spike staminate, pedunculate, linear, 6–15 cm long, 2–3 mm wide; lateral spikes pistillate, rather short pedunculate, peduncles enclosed in sheaths, erect to ascending, linear cylindrical, 2–10 cm long, 3–4 mm wide, rarely with short branch at the base, subdensely many flowered. Bracts with long sheaths, lades upper setaceous, lower short leafy. Staminate scales narrowly elliptic, 5–9 mm long, acuminate, membranaceous, midrib broadly light green to pale brown, both ide brownish, margins broadly scarious, sparsely ciliate. Pistillate scales elliptic, 3–5 mm long, shorter than perigynia, acute to acuminate, short aristate, arista and idrib scabrous, midrib light green, both sides brownish, margins broadly scarious, sparsely ciliate. Perigynia erect, oblong elliptic, compressed trigonous, 5–6 mm long, ca. 1.2 mm wide, herbaceous, multi-veined, densely hispid, base stipitate, stipe, 1–1.5 mm long, rather long beaked, beak 1–1.5 mm long, apex deeply bidentate to bifid. Achenes tightly enveloped, elliptic, obtusely trigonous, 3–4 mm long, ca. 1 mm wide, stipitate, stipe 1–1.5 mm long, apex slightly annulate. Style ca. 1 mm long, base slightly or not thickened; stigmas 3, ca. 3 mm long, rather persistent. [details]
