Description Plants cespitose. Culms acutely angled, 45–140 cm, scabrous. Leaves: basal sheaths red-brown or brown; sheaths of proximal leaves bladeless, scabrous, fronts red-brown to copper-brown, spots absent, indistinctly ladder-fibrillose; blades 12–55 cm × 4–10.5 mm. Inflorescences: peduncle of proximal spike 0.6–6.1 cm; proximal bract longer than inflorescence, 1.9–9.5 mm wide. Spikes 2–5 pistillate, 1–3 staminate, pendent; proximal pistillate spike 2.4–10.4 cm × 3–8.4 mm, base cuneate to acuminate. Pistillate scales pale brown to copper-brown, 3.1–8.2 mm (including awn), midvein reaching apex, apex of body acuminate or, rarely, truncate, awned. Perigynia ascending, pale brown, 0–5-veined abaxially, scarcely inflated, loosely enclosing achenes, ovoid to ellipsoid, 1.9–4.2 × 1.1–2.3 mm, dull, apex acute or obtuse, glabrous; beak 0.1–0.3 mm. Achenes variously constricted. 2n = 66, 68. [details]
