Description Rhizome short. Culms tufted, 30–50 cm tall, slender, usually weak, slightly scabrous. Leaves shorter than culm, blades pale green, linear, 1–2 mm wide, flat, soft. Lower involucral bracts leaflike, surpassing inflorescence, upper involucral bracts setaceous or glumelike. Spikes 4–10, gynaecandrous, ovate, 4–6 × 4–5 mm, upper 3–5 spikes congested, remaining spikes remote. Female glumes light ferruginous, narrowly ovate, ca. 2.5 mm, green 1-veined, margins broadly white hyaline. Utricles green, yellow-green at maturity, longer than glume, lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, ca. 3 mm, membranous, distinctly many veined on both faces, upper margins finely serrulate winged, apex gradually narrowed into a beak, beak rather deeply cleft abaxially, 2-toothed at orifice. Nutlets tightly enveloped, elliptic-ovate, plano-convex, ca. 1.5 mm, base shortly stipitate, apex subrounded; style base thickened; stigmas 2. Fl. and fr. Jun–Jul.  [details]
