Description Rhizome short; shoots densely tufted. Culms erect, terete to trigonous, smooth or scabrous, 3–10(-20) cm long, c. 0.7 mm diam. Leaves exceeding culms, to 35 cm long; blade 2–3 mm wide; sheath yellow-brown; ligule obtuse to truncate. Inflorescence erect, narrow, c. 4 cm long, with 2–5 spikes solitary at nodes; lowest involucral bract exceeding inflorescence. Spikes sessile, contiguous, erect at maturity, 1.2–1.8 cm long; uppermost spike male; lower spikes female. Glumes obtuse to acuminate, often long-mucronate (mucro to 2 mm long), whitish to pale brown with green midrib; female glumes 2.5–4.5 mm long. Perigynia (utricles) ellipsoid, prominently numerous-nerved, 2–3.3 mm long, 1.0–1.5 mm diam., hispid, pale green to yellow-brown; beak c. 0.5 mm long, with apex notched. Anthers 1.8–2.5 mm long excluding appendage to 0.1 mm long. Style 3-fid. Nut obovoid to ellipsoid, trigonous in cross section, pale yellow, with enlarged disk-like junction with persistent style base. [details]
