Description Herbs perennial. Rhizome ligneous, thick, obliquely ascending, covered with dark brown fibrous sheaths at base. Culms central, 12-30 cm tall, obtusely trigonous, covered with dark brown fibrous sheaths at base. Leaves far shorter than culms; leaf- blade yellowish green, flat, revolute, leathery, 1. 5-3. 5 mm wide, acuminate at apex, scabrous on margins. Involucral bracts shortly leaf-like, shorter than inflorescence, sheathed; sheaths 0.5-0.8 cm long, obliquely truncate at orifice. Inflorescence paniculate, with 2, rarely 3 spikes; terminal spike staminate, clavate, 1-1. 5 cm long, 3-3. 5 mm wide» with a long peduncle at base; lateral spikes pistillate, cylindrical, ca. 1 cm long, 5-6 mm wide, 4-6-flowered; peduncles slightly exserted from sheaths, or enclosed. Staminate scales ovate-elliptic, brown, ca. 4 mm long (including awn), acuminate at apex, brown l-veined costa excurrent into a short awn. Pistillate scales ovate, yellowish brown, 4-5. 5 mm long (including awn), acuminate at apex, green 3- veined costa excurrent into a short awn. Perigynia broadly ovoid or ovoid (excluding beak), 6-6. 5 mm long, longer than pistillate scales (including beak), obliquely patent, obtusely trigonous, papery, yellowish green, distinctly veined, glabrous, gradually contracted into a ca. 3 mm long beak; orifice 2-lobed with teeth. Stigmas 3; style thicken at base. Achenes tightly enveloped) rhombic-ovoid, trigonous» 3. 5-4 mm long (including beak), yellowish brown or castaneous, sides concave below, shortly erect, stipitate at base, abruptly contracted into a short beak at apex, beak erect, annulate at
orifice.
