Description Perennial, laxly caespitose, with dark brown fibrous scales on short rhizomes. Stems erect, 20–30(–35) cm tall and 1 mm wide, trigonous, smooth, becoming more or less scabrid towards the apex. Sheaths of basal leaves dark brown, entire, without blade, shiny, fibrous. Leaves 2–4 mm wide, flat, tapering towards apex, shorter than the stem; ligule 1–2 mm long, shorter than wide, ovate-lanceolate, obtuse. Inflorescence 2–3.5 cm long, with one terminal male spike, and 2–3 lateral female spikes. Male spike 13–22 × 3–5 mm, cylindrical, sessile. Lowermost bract 10–25 mm, lanceolate to subulate, rarely longer than its spike. Female spike 8–13 × 3–4 mm, ovoid to obovoid or cylindrical, the uppermost sessile, arising next to the male spike, the lowermost a bit more distant, with internode 6–10 mm long, and with a peduncle 3–10 mm long. Androgynous spike absent. Male glumes 3–5 × 1 mm, elliptical, with subulate apex, dark brown with a pale midrib, without membranous margins. Female glumes 3.2–4.5 (incl. 1–1.5 mm awn) × 1.5–1.8 mm ovoid to broadly ovoid with long arista, longer than the utricle, dark brown with a pale midrib and 3 (pairs of) inconspicuous lateral veins. Stigmas 3. Utricles 3–4 × 1 mm, pyriform, light green to light brown, with inconspicuous veins; beak short or long, dark brown with dense short hairs when young, glabrescent when mature. Nutlet 1.6 × 0.8 mm, light brown; style-base enlarged forming a ring-like stylopodium [details]
