Description Plants cespitose. Culms 15–60 cm, proximally scabrous. Leaves 2.5–4 mm wide. Inflorescences: proximal bracts usually shorter than, sometimes equaling, occasionally exceeding, inflorescences; spikes spreading or erect, overlapping, contiguous, forming dense terminal cluster or, sometimes, proximal spikes separate, sessile, short-oblong, 7–12 × 6–10 mm; lateral 2–3 spikes pistillate; terminal spike gynecandrous. Pistillate scales dark brown or black, distal margins often hyaline, ovate or lanceolate, shorter than or as long and broad as pergynia, midvein same color as body, inconspicuous, apex acute. Perigynia ascending or spreading, pale yellow, dark brown or blackish with green or yellow-brown margins, veinless, ovate or, rarely, circular, 3–4 × 2–3 mm, apex abruptly beaked, papillose on distal margins and serrulate; beak 0.4–0.5 mm, shallowly or deeply bidentate, often serrulate. Achenes filling proximal 1/2 or less of perigynia. [details]
