Description Rhizome short; culms tufted, 50–60 cm high, ca. 2.5–3.5 mm wide, triquetrous, with purplish brown, leafless and sometimes fibrillose sheaths at base. Leaves shorter than culms, 4–7 mm wide, flat. Inflorescence racemose, with 4 to 6 spikes; bracts without sheaths, lowest 1 or 2 leaf-like, exceeding inflorescence, upper ones bristle-like, shorter than inflorescence; upper spikes congested, lowest 1 or 2 remote; the terminal spike gynecandrous, cylindrical, 2.5–3.5 x ca. 1 cm, the lateral ones female, occasionally gynecandrous, oblong or cylindrical, 2–3 x ca. 0.8–0.9 cm, the lowest spike with a peduncle 8–12 mm long, upper ones with shorter or sessile peduncles. Female glumes ovate-lanceolate, 6–6.5 x 2 mm, with long scabrous awns 1–1.5 mm long, membranous, dark brown, 1-nerved; utricles shorter than glumes, narrowly elliptic, 4–5 mm long, veinless, membranous to almost coriaceous, yellowish green to dark purple, apices attenuate into short beaks ca. 0.2 mm long, beak mouths purple-black, truncate or emarginate; stigmas 3. Nutlets narrowly obovate, trigonous, yellow, 2.5 mm long. [details]
