Description Rhizome long; shoots more or less loosely tufted. Culms erect, terete, smooth, 10–50 cm long (rarely as short as 1 cm and enclosed by leaves), c. 1 mm diam. Leaves shorter than culms; blade 0.7–2 mm wide; sheath dark brown, persisting as fibrous remains; ligule obtuse to rounded. Inflorescence erect, 0.7–3 cm long, with 2–6 spikes solitary at nodes; lowest involucral bracts exceeding inflorescence. Spikes sessile, more or less contiguous, spreading to erect at maturity, to 1 (rarely to 1.5) cm long; all spikes gynaecandrous. Glumes acuminate to obtuse, mostly short- to long-mucronate, whitish to pale yellow-brown (rarely orange-brown) with green midrib; female glumes 2–3 (rarely to 5) mm long. Perigynia (utricles) broad-obovoid to ellipsoid, ± strongly several-numerous-nerved, often transversely wrinkled between nerves, 2.2–4.5 mm long, 1.0–2.1 mm diam., densely minutely hispid on narrowly winged margins and beak, green to yellowish; beak 0.3–1.1 mm long, with apex split. Anthers 0.8–1.6 mm long excluding appendage to 0.2 mm long. Style 2-fid. Nut obovoid to broad-ellipsoid, lenticular in cross section, pale to dark yellow-brown. [details]
