Description Culms stiff, much exceeding the leaves; leaves more or less bunched at base, the well-developed blades many to a culm, not septate-nodulose, rather stiff; inflorescence 1.5-5.5 cm long, of 4-5 spikes, sessile, except for the lowest which is pedunculate; bracts exceeding the culms, the lowest the longest; sheaths smooth, concave at orifice with short ligule; pistillate spikes closely 30-45-flowered; pistillate scales shorter than the perigynium but about as wide, pale or ferruginous-brown, margins narrowly hyaline, the central portion broad, 3-nerved; perigynia firmly membranaceous, pale brown, olivaceous, or pale brownish-green below, prominently several-nerved, narrowed below to an obtuse or rounded base; beak 1 mm long and 1/2-3/8 length of perigynium, 1/2 or slightly over 1/2 length of body; achene rounded and broadest above the middle, convex above, concave below, gray- or purplish-brown. [details]
