Description Plants without conspicuous rhizomes. Culms 20–80 cm, 0.8–1.5 mm wide basally, 0.4–0.5 mm wide distally. Leaves: sheaths tight, green, fronts hyaline; ligules less than 2, wider than long; widest leaf blades 1.3–1.9 mm wide. Inflorescences with 4–8 spikes, 3–7 cm × 5–7.5 mm; proximal internodes more than 2 times as long as proximal spikes; proximal bracts to 5(–10) cm; spikes with 3–8 spreading or reflexed perigynia. Pistillate scales hyaline with green midvein, ovate, 1.4–2.3 × 0.9–1.6 mm, body 1/2 length of perigynium, apex obtuse, acute, or awned. Anthers 0.8–1.3 mm. Perigynia green, faces not veined, 2.6–3.8 × 1–1.5 mm, base of body spongy, thickened, longitudinally striate adaxially, spongy region 1–1.5 mm, margins serrulate distally; beak 0.4–1 mm, apical teeth 0.1–0.2 mm. Stigmas straight or slightly twisted, 0.03–0.06 mm wide. Achenes ovate to obovate, 1.5–2 × 1–1.4 mm. 2n = 58. [details]
