Description Rhizome short, ligneous, stiff, with many fibrous adventitious roots. Culms 40–65 cm tall, trigonous, smooth, with brown short-bladed sheaths at base. Leaves shorter than culms, or nearly equal in length, 6–9 mm wide, flat, adaxially scabrous, abaxially smooth but scabrous on upper parts. Involucral bracts leaflike, nearly equaling inflorescence, sheathed; sheaths 1–6 cm long, with the lowest longer than others. Spikes 6 or 7; terminal spike staminate, linear-cylindrical, 4–5 cm long, 2.5–3 mm wide, with a 2–2.5 cm long peduncle at base; lateral spikes androgynous, cylindrical, 3–8 cm long, 6–7 mm wide, with a 1–2 cm long staminate part at apex, pedunculate at base. Staminate scales, elliptic-lanceolate, pale brown, 6–6.5 mm long, acuminate and short-awned at apex, greenish brown 1-veined costa. Pistillate scales, narrowly ovate, 5–6 mm long, lower ones to 7 mm long (including awn), pale brown, acuminate at apex, with a 2.5–3 mm long scabrous awn. Perigynia nearly equaling pistillate
scales, ellipsoid-obovoid, obtusely trigonous, brown, shiny, glabrous, distinctly veined, 7–7.5 mm long, cuneate and shortly stipitate at base, gradually contracted into a ca. 3 mm long beak at apex; orifice 2 lobed with short teeth. Achenes obovoid, trigonous, yellow, 2.5–3 mm long, ca. 1.5 mm wide, cuneate at base, abruptly contracted into a
short beak at apex; style not thickened at base; stigmas 3. [details]
