Description Herbs perennial. Rhizome short, ligneous. Culms lateral, 25-45 cm tall, trigonous, covered with dark brown fibrous sheaths at base. Leaves longer than culms; leaf-blade brownish yellow, flat, revolute, leathery, 1. 5-3 mm wide, acuminate at apex, scabrous on upper margins. Involucral bracts leaf-like, shorter than inflorescence, sheathed; sheaths 1-2 cm long, obliquely truncate at orifice. Inflorescence paniculate, with 3 or 4 spikes; terminal spike staminate, linear-cylindrical, 3-4 cm long, ca. 2.5 mm wide, with a long peduncle at base; lateral spikes androgynous» cylindrical, 2. 5-3. 5 cm long» 4-5 mm wide, densely flowered, bearing a 1-1. 5 cm long staminate part at apex,
pedunculate; peduncles exserted from sheaths. Staminate scales elliptic, brownish yellow, 3-4 mm long, obtuse or acute at apex, brown 1-veined costa on dorsal surface, Pistillate scales ovate, brownish yellow, 4-4. 5 mm long (including awn), acuminate at apex, green 3-veined costa excurrent into a short scabrous awn. Perigynia ellipsoid or ovoid (excluding beak), 5-6 mm long, longer than pistillate scales (including beak), obliquely patent, obtusely trigonous, papery, brown, distinctly veined, glabrous, gradually contracted into a beak; orifice 2-lobed with teeth. Stigmas 3; style thicken at base. Achenes tightly enveloped, rhombic-ovoid, trigonous» 2. 5-3 mm long (including beak), castaneous, sides concave below, shortly curved, stipitate at base, abruptly
