Depth range Culms brownish at base, 30–90 cm. Leaves: sheaths glabrous; ligules 11–43(–53) mm; blades dark green, 10–40 cm × 4–8(–12) mm, those of prominent sterile shoots to 18 mm wide, prominently scabrous on adaxial surface. Spikes: 4–7(–9), oblong to short-cylindric; proximal spikes long-peduncled (occasionally branched), the distal progressively less so or subsessile; pistillate spikes closely 10–160-flowered (70–230-flowered if branched), 1–5.5(–7) cm × 5.5–8(–9) mm; staminate spike 1.5–5 cm. Pistillate scales nearly equaling bodies of perigynia, apex acute, acuminate, or short-awned, ciliolate. Perigynia olive-green, 2-ribbed, strongly 6–8-veined, obovoid, 3.4–4.5 mm, minutely scabrous-puberulent; beak 1.3–1.9 mm, orifice obscurely bidentate. Achenes obovoid, 1.8–2.3 × 1.2–1.5 mm. 2n = 54.
