Description Rhizome short, indurate. Culms tufted, 30–55 cm tall, smooth, soft, clothed at base with pale brown or brown bladeless sheaths usually disintegrating into fibers. Leaves shorter than culm, blades linear, 2–3 mm wide, flat, soft, margins scabrous, apex long acuminate. Lower involucral bracts leaflike, conspicuously surpassing inflorescence, gradually tapering becoming setaceous to glumelike. Spicate inflorescence 10–15 cm, upper spikes approximate, lower ones remote; spikes 8–13, gynaecandrous, sometimes terminal spike all female, broadly ovate or ovate-orbicular, 5–10 × 3–8 mm. Female glumes pale green, narrowly ovate to elliptic, 1.8–2.5 mm, 1-veined at middle. Utricles longer than glume, elliptic or ovate, compressed, 3–3.5 × 1.2–1.5 mm, spongy, distinctly several veined on both faces, upper margins narrowly serrulate winged, apex abruptly contracted into a beak, orifice 2-toothed. Nutlets loosely enveloped, oblong to oblong-ovate, base contracted to shortly stipitate, apex subrounded; style base thickened; stigmas 2. Fl. and fr. Apr. [details]

Description Rhizomatous perennial. Culrns densely tufted, 20-60 cm by 1-1.5 mm, triquetrous, smooth. Leaves mostly cauline, lower ones with reduced blades; blades narrowly linear, up to 21 cm by 1.7-3 mm long-acute, flattish; sheaths 2-5 cm long, pale green to dark brown, basal sheaths becoming somewhat fibrous. Lowest involucral bract leaf-like, up to 23 cm long. Inflorescence linear, spike-like, 5-13 cm long, with 10-16 rather distant spikes. Spikes erect-patent, ellipsoid, 0.5-0.9 by 0.4-0.6 cm, androgynous, upper section female, lower male, few-flowered. Female glumes ovate to ovate-lanceolate, 2.2-2.8 mm long, acute to acuminate, often mucronate, sides membranous to scarious, keel 3-nerved. Utricles elliptic to ovate-elliptic, compressed, 3-3.2 by 1- 1.3 mm, winged, light green, 8-12-nerved, glabrous; beak ca. 1 mm long, apex 2-toothed. Stigmas 2. Nutlets oblong-ovate, compressed, 2 by 0.7-0.8 mm. [details]
