Description Herbs perennial. Rhizome short, ligneous, thick, Culms central, 30-80 cm tall, trigonous, covered with purplish brown fibrous sheaths at base. Leaves longer than culms; leaf-blade yellowish green or green, flat, leathery, 1. 5-5 mm wide, acuminate at apex» scabrous on margins. Involucral bracts shortly leaf-like, shorter than inflorescence, sheathed; sheaths 1-2.5 cm long, obliquely truncate at orifice. Inflorescence paniculate, with 3 or 4 spikes; terminal spike staminate, clavate or linear-cylindrical, 2-4 cm long, 2. 5-3 mm wide, with a long peduncle at base; lateral spikes androgynous or nearly pistillate, cylindrical, 1. 5-4. 5 cm long, 7-8 mm wide, densely flowered, bearing a 1-2 cm long staminate part at apex, rarely bearing a few staminate flowers at apex» pedunculate; peduncles exserted from sheaths. Staminate scales oblanceolate, reddish yellow, ca. 7 mm long, obtuse at apex, brown l-veined costa excurrent into a ca. 1. 5 mm long awn. Pistillate scales elliptic or narrowly ovate, yellowish brown, 5. 5-6 mm long (including awn), acuminate at apex, green 3-veined costa excurrent into a ca, 2 mm long scabrous awn. Perigynia ellipsoid, ovoid, or broadly ovoid (excluding beak), 6-7 mm long, longer than pistillate scales (including beak), obliquely patent, obtusely trigonous, papery, green, distinctly veined, glabrous to sparsely pubescent, gradually contracted into a ca. 2 mm long beak; orifice 2-lobed with teeth. Stigmas 3; style slightly thicken at base. Achenes tightly enveloped, rhombic-ovoid, trigonous, 3. 5-4 mm long Cincluding beak)>, yellowish brown or castaneous, with 3 angles shallowly constricted to constricted at middle, sides concave above and below, shortly curved, stipitate at base, abruptly contracted into a 0. 5-0. 8 mm long beak or annulate disc at apex,» beak erect or slightly curved», annulate at orifice,
