Description A Carice spicatae differt perigyniis ovatis, sine texto spongioso ad basim; a Carice pairae, propter inflorescentiam atque perigynias longiores; a Carice muricatae, quia perigyniae eius carent alis et quod illa squamam feminam longiorem habet. Plants with short rhizomes. Culms: 30–70 cm × 0.8–1.25 mm at midheight, obtusely trigonous, slightly scabrid above, sheaths brown to dark brown. Leaves: blades about 1/2–1/3 as long as culms, widest leaf blades 2.5–3.0 mm, plicate to flat; ligule 1.0–3.0 mm, wider than long, round or subacute at apex. Inflorescences oblong, 25–34 mm × 8–11 mm, with 6–9 globular-elliptic spikes, one per node, sessile, spikes usually overlapping, the lowest spikes 4–9 mm distant; bracts glume-like, the proximal setaceous, shorter than inflorescence, 5–12 mm long. Pistillate scales dark brown, with a narrow green to brown midrib and without scarious margins, 3.75–4.25 × 2.0–2.3 mm, oval, apex apiculate 0.1–0.2 mm. Staminate glume 4.0–4.5 × 1.75–2.0 mm, narrower than the female. Anthers 3, 1.75–3 mm long. Perigynium erect-spreading, pale greenish to brown, body oval, nerveless or with faint veins in the body, 4.4–5.0 × 2.25–2.6 mm, base rounded not corky, apex more or less gradually tapered into a beak. Beak 0.75–1.0 mm long, green to brown distally, with serrulate margins reaching the summit, apex bidentate, apical teeth 0.25–0.6 mm. Achene ovate to oval, light brown 2.5–2.8 × 1.75–2.25 mm. Stigmas 2, 2.0–2.50 mm long. [details]
