Description Plants without conspicuous rhizomes. Culms 15–60 cm, 1.4–2 mm wide basally, 0.7–0.9 mm wide distally. Leaves: sheaths tight, green, fronts hyaline; ligules to 1.5 mm, wider than long; widest leaf blades 1–2.5 mm wide. Inflorescences with 3–6 spikes, 1.5–4 cm × 7–12 mm; proximal internodes 1–1.5 times as long as proximal spikes; proximal bracts 6–25 cm, at least 2 times as long as inflorescences; spikes with 8–20 spreading perigynia. Pistillate scales hyaline with green, 3-veined center, ovate, 2–3.5 × 1.2–2.4 mm, body 2/3 to almost length of perigynium, distinctly narrower, apex acuminate to awned. Anthers 1.3–1.8 mm.
