Description Rhizomes long-creeping. Culms solitary (rarely 2 together), 2–30(–40) cm. Leaves light green, cauline blades tending to be recurved, 0.6–9.7 cm × 1.5–4.4 mm; widest leaves 1.8–3(–4.4) mm wide. Inflorescences: peduncle of terminal spike (0.4–)0.9–7.6(–9.1) cm; bracts usually shorter than culms; ligule of proximal bract 0.1–2.2 mm; longest bract blade (per plant) of distal lateral spike 2–6.7 cm. Proximal spikes usually arising from proximal 1/2 of culms, 5–27 × 3.1–6.3 mm. Terminal spike (5–)11–24 mm, usually separated from distal lateral spike (unless staminate). Pistillate scales ovate or ovate-triangular, 1.2–2.9 × 1.1–1.6 mm. Staminate scales with apex rounded to obtuse. Anthers 1.9–2.9 mm. Perigynia yellowish green to pale brown, oblong-ovoid to ellipsoid, 2.2–3.4(–3.7) × 1.1–1.9 mm, 1.4–2.6 times as long as thick; beak 0.1–0.3 mm, orifice entire or nearly so (teeth to 0.1 mm). Achenes 1.4–1.9 × 1–1.8 mm, not including prominent apiculus 0.2–0.4 mm. 2n = 38, 59, 60. [details]
