Translation Rhizome short. Culms tufted, 20–55 cm tall, compressed-triquetrous, slender, smooth, sheathed at base in dark brown. Leaves longer or shorter than the culm, 2.5–4 mm wide, with scabrous margins. Bracts shortly leaf-like, above setaceous, shorter than the spikelets, sheathing. Spikelets 4–5; the terminal one staminate, linear, 3–6 cm long, with a peduncle 1–2.5 cm long; the lateral ones pistillate, linear-cylindrical, 1–3.5 cm long, erect, sparsely flowered, peduncles 0.6–5 cm long, enclosed at base within bract sheaths. Staminate scales narrowly oblanceolate, blunt at the tip, pale yellow, 7.5–8 mm long. Pistillate scales ovate-oblong, pale yellow, with acute or blunt tips, 2.5–3 mm long, 1-nerved on the back. Utricles longer than the scales, oblong-ellipsoid, obtusely trigonous, 3–4 mm long, many-nerved, glabrous, base attenuate, apex with a beak about 1 mm long, mouth bidentate and contracted. Nut tightly enclosed, ellipsoid, trigonous, 1.5–2 mm long, ash-brown, base shortly stipitate, abruptly contracted at the top into a disc. Style thickened at the base, shortly hairy, persistent.
