Description Rhizomes coarse, 1.8–3 mm thick, typically with long, unbranched segments from which shoots arise singly every few nodes. Culms sharply trigonous, (10–)25–80(–100) cm, scabrous-angled distally. Leaves: basal sheaths dark brown to nearly black; sheaths with hyaline inner band, apex not prolonged, glabrous; ligules 0.6–2.6 mm; blades 1–3(–3.5) mm wide. Inflorescences elongate, 0.9–4 cm; spikes 5–18(–25), usually unisexual; staminate spikes lanceoloid; pistillate spikes ovoid. Pistillate scales straw colored to pale reddish brown, with hyaline margins, ovate, apex acute to acuminate-awned, dull to ± satiny. Anthers (1.8–)2.2–3.9 mm, apiculus bristly hairy (30X). Perigynia brown to nearly black at maturity, essentially veinless, usually stipitate, ovate, plano-convex, (2.2–)2.6–3.7 × 1.2–1.9 mm, dull; beak 0.7–1.2 mm, 1/4–1/2 length of body, apex ± hyaline, obscurely bidentate. [details]
