Description Culms trigonous, scabrous-angled distally, (30–)40–120 cm; vegetative culms somewhat taller. Leaves: basal sheaths brown; sheaths glabrous, inner band green, veined, apex hyaline, prolonged 1–4.5 mm; ligules 2.2–8 mm; blades 2.5–4.6 mm wide. Inflorescences nearly cylindric, except near apex, 2.5–7(–9) cm; spikes ascending, ovate, 3.2–11 × 1.1–7 mm, basal spikes slightly more prominent than middle spikes. Pistillate scales pale brown to straw colored at maturity, hyaline margins, ovate, apex acute to acuminate, glabrous. Staminate scales pale brown to straw colored, narrowly ovate, apex acute, glabrous. Perigynia (2.5–)2.8–4.1(–4.6) × 1.3–2 mm; beak 0.4–1(–1.2) mm. Achenes brown. [details]
