Description Perennial. caespitose, plants wholly ferruginous punctulate. Stems 20-80 cm tall, trigonous, scabrous above. Leaves flat, shorter than stems, 3-5 mm wide, membranous side of leaf sheath transversely wrinkled, truncate at apex. Basal sheaths ferruginous-brown. Involucral bracts lower 1 or 2 involucral bracts leaflike, upper ones setaceous. Inflorescences spicate inflorescence, cylindric, 5-8 cm long. Spikes androgynous, ovate, 5-12 mm long, 4-6 mm wide. Staminate scales pale ferruginous, apex acute. Pistillate scales pale ferruginous, ovate, ca. 2.2-3 mm long, apex acute, awned. Perigynia longer than pistillate scales, lanceolate-ovate or oblong-ovate, plano-convex, 3.5-4 mm long, ca. 1 mm wide, ferruginous puncticulate, many veined on both faces, margins narrow wings, apex gradually narrowed into a smooth long beak, mouth bidentate. Achenes elliptic or ovate-elliptic, plano-convex, 1-1.2 mm long. Stigmas 2. [details]
