Description Herbs perennial. Rhizome short, ligneous, thick. Culms central, 20-45 cm tall, trigonous, covered with dark brown fibrous sheaths at base. Leaves longer than culms; leaf-blade pale green or yellowish green, flat, revolute, leathery, 5-9 mm wide, acuminate at apex, scabrous on upper margins. Involucral bracts leaf-like, longer than inflorescence, sheathed; sheaths 1-1. 5 cm long, obliquely truncate at orifice, Inflorescence paniculate, with 4 or 5 spikes; terminal spike staminate, linear-cylindrical, 2-3 cm long, 2. 5-3 mm wide, with a short peduncle at base; lateral spikes pistillate, cylindrical, 2-3. 5 cm long, 7-9 mm wide, densely flowered, bearing a few staminate flowers at apex, pedunculate; peduncles slightly exserted from sheaths, or enclosed. Staminate scales oblanceolate, pale green or pale yellow, 5-6 mm long» acuminate at apex, brown l-veined costa on dorsal surface. Pistillate scales ovate, pale green, 5-6 mm long (including awn), acuminate at apex, green 3-veined costa excurrent into a short awn. Perigynia ovoid or broadly ovoid (excluding beak), 5. 5-6 mm long, slightly longer than or equal to pistillate scales (including beak), obliquely patent, obtusely trigonous, papery» yellowish green, 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, 3-4 mm long (including beak), yellowish brown or castaneous, sides concave below, shortly curved, stipitate at base, abruptly contracted into a beak at apex» beak slightly curved, annulate at orifice.
