Description Rhizome long creeping, clothed with dark brown fibrous remnants of old glumes. Culms 10-20 cm tall, 3-4 mm thick, erect, rigid, obtusely trigonous, subsmooth, clothed at base with dark brown sheaths disintegrating into parallel fibers. Leaves longer than culm, blades yellow-green, broadly linear, 3-8 mm wide, flat, ± curved, leathery, serrulate margined. Lowest involucral bracts narrowly leaflike. Plants dioecious, rarely monoecious; male inflorescence oblong, 4-5 × 1.2-1.3 cm; female inflorescence ovate to oblong, 4-6 × ca. 3 cm; spikes numerous, ovate, 10-15 mm. Female glumes yellow-green, ovate to narrowly ovate, 12-16 × 4-5 mm, leathery, many veined, margins broadly hyaline, broad costa excurrent into a long scabrous awn, apex acute, usually toothed. Utricles yellow-greenish, slightly shorter than or ± equaling glume, lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, plano-convex, 10-15 × ca. 4 mm, leathery, lustrous, finely many veined on both faces, narrowly winged margins irregularly serrulate-scabrous on upper part, apex gradually tapering into a long weakly incurved beak, orifice 2-toothed. Nutlets olivaceous, loosely enveloped, oblong-obovate or oblong, compressed trigonous, base slightly cuneate, apex rounded; style sparsely pilose below, base slightly thickened; stigmas 2. [details]
