Description Rhizomes elongate. Culms tufted, 70–105 cm long, 2–4 mm in diam, obtusely trigonous, hispidulous, basal sheaths dark brown. Leaves 3–5, basal and cauline, loosely arranged; leaf blade elliptic, 12–28 × 2–3 cm, transverse veins prominent, margin hispidulous-villous, base round to cuneate, apex acute, greyish green when dried; sheaths 1.5–7 cm long, hispidulous, mouth hairy, not developed into prominent appendage. Involucral bracts leaf-like, longer than inflorescence, sheathing; panicles 20–45 × 3–5 cm, with 12–16 branches, single or binate; peduncles up to 9 cm long, reduced toward apex, tenuous, glabrous or slightly pubescent; inflorescence axes sharply trigonous, hairy on edges; bractlets glumiform, ca. 5 mm long, apex awned, awns 4–5 mm long; cladoprophylls utriculiform, 3–4 mm long; spikes bisexual, androgynous, 15–30 (–45) mm long; male part of spike much longer than female part; male part densely many flowered, ca. 2.5 mm wide; female part fewer flowered, 3–4.5 mm wide; male glumes oblong-lanceolate, 6–9 × 1.5–2 (–3.2) mm, awned; female glumes oblong-lanceolate, 3.8–4.2 mm long, pale brown, green at middle, apex acute, midrib extending into a scabrid awn. Utricles ovate-elliptic, 6–7.5 mm long, green to brown, veined, densely hispidulous, apex attenuating into a long beak, ca. 3 mm long, orifice oblique. Nutlets ca. 4 × 1.8–2 mm, dark brown, obovate-elliptic, trigonous. Stigmas 3. [details]
