Description Perennial herbs. Rhizomes short, indurate. Culms loosely caespitose, (3-)10–50 cm tall, trigonous, 0.5–1 mm thick, smooth. Leaves longer to slightly shorter than culms; blades 2–3.5 mm wide, flat, stiff, with dark brown sheaths at base. Involucral bracts linear, nearly equaling or slightly shorter than inflorescence, sheathless. Spikes 1–3, androgynous, cylindrical, 1–2 cm long, 3–4 mm wide, densely flowered, staminate parts shorter than pistillate ones; lateral spikes exserted from middle part of culms, with erect short peduncles. Staminate scales ovate, ca. 2 mm long, acute at apex, subleathery, green 1-veined. Pistillate scales ovate, ca. 3 mm long, acute at apex, subleathery, membranous at margins, pale green laterally, green 1-veined costa. Perigynia longer than pistillate scales, green, ovoid, trigonous, 4–4.5 mm long, subleathery, distinctly veined, sparsely pubescent at margins, cuneate at base, gradually contracted into a short beak at apex; orifice shortly 2-lobed with minute teeth. Achenes dark brown at maturity, obovoid, compressed trigonous, 2.5–3 mm long, abruptly contracted into a short stipe at base; style slightly thickened at base, trigonous, conic, sparsely pubescent; stigmas 3.
