Description Perennials. rhizomes short. Stems 30–70 cm tall, densely caespitose, smooth, trigonous. Leaves shorter than stems at matured, flat, 3–5 mm wide. Basal sheaths light brown, membranous, disintegrating into fiber. Involucral bracts leaflike, longer than inflorescence, sheathless. Inflorescences spikes 5–6, sessile, gynecandrous, ovate or oblong, 5–12 mm long, 3–5 mm wide, densely flowered. Staminate scales whitish, apex rounded, margin serrulate. Pistillate scales light green, short aristate, margin serrulate. Perigynia green, longer than pistillate scales, obovate, 3.4–3.7 mm long, membranous, nerveless, margin winged and serrulate, apex abruptly narrowed into a short beak, mouth 2-toothed. Achenes tightly enveloped by perigynium, obovate, 2.3–2.5 mm long. Stigmas 3. [details]

Description Rhizome short. Culms tufted, 20-60 cm tall, erect, obtusely trigonous, smooth, clothed at base with brown sheaths disintegrating into fibers. Leaves longer than or equaling culm, blades linear, 3-4 mm wide, flat, rather soft. Involucral bracts leaflike, longer than inflorescence. Spicate inflorescence rather dense above, interrupted below, sometimes branched in lowest spike, 3-8 cm; spikes gynaecandrous, ovate or oblong, 5-12 × 3-5 mm, densely flowered. Female glumes whitish, subcordate, green 3-veined costa excurrent into an awn 0.7-1 mm, apex subcuneate. Utricles greenish, longer than glume, suborbicular or broadly ovate, plano-convex, 3.2-3.5 × ca. 2 mm, membranous, smooth, nerveless, base contracted, cuneate, margins winged, scabrous above, apex abruptly contracted into a short beak, orifice 2-toothed. Nutlets greenish, tightly enveloped, broadly ovoid, biconvex, ca. 2.2 × 1.5 mm, apex with a discoid appendage; stigmas 3. [details]
