Description Plants loosely cespitose, long-rhizomatous. Culms 14–32 cm. Leaves: basal sheaths dark purplish to reddish brown; blades mostly basal, pale green, shorter than culms, thick, 0.9–3.3 mm wide. Inflorescences: peduncles of proximal pistillate spikes to 7 cm; peduncles of terminal staminate spikes 3.3–15.7 mm; proximal bracts long-sheathing; pistillate spikes 2–4, emerging from cauline nodes, widely separated, ascending, ovoid to ellipsoid or short-cylindric; terminal staminate spikes 17.4–23 × 2.5–3.8 mm. Scales: pistillate scales reddish brown, ovate, apex acute to obtuse, glabrous; staminate scales reddish brown, ovate to obovate, margins silvery-white, apex acute to short-acuminate, scarious. Anthers 2.1–2.6 mm. Perigynia obovoid to oblanceoloid, 2.4–2.9 × 1–1.3 mm, base tapering, pubescent with straight white hairs; beak straight, 0.2–0.5 mm. Stigmas 3, flexuous, thin, strongly papillose. Achenes ellipsoid to obovoid, 1.7–1.8 × 1.1–1.2 mm. 2n = 52. [details]
