Description Erect slender perennial, forming dense tussocks, with short, slender rhizomes. Culms not noded below inflorescence, slender, flexible, subterete to compressed throughout, sulcate-striate when dried, smooth, 6–28 cm tall, 0.3–0.7 mm in diameter. Leaves usually all basal (rarely 1 or 2 cauline near the base), with well-developed blade, 3.5–12 cm long, shorter than the culms; blade flat to channelled above, semi-circular below, rigid, strongly striate below, scaberulous on the margins, 0.3–0.9 mm wide; sheath not equitant, scarcely dilated at the base, purple, striate, dull, with scarious, pale margins, tightly clasping the culm; junction of sheath and blade apparently lacking a ligule. Lowest inflorescence bract erect, similar to the leaves, usually shorter than the inflorescence, 1.3–8 cm long, often breaking off after anthesis, upper bracts decreasing in length; sheath short, 4–10 mm long, purplish-brown, lamina linear. Inflorescence subracemose, erect, rather diffuse, narrow,(2–)5–15 cm long, with several internodes, consisting of 2 or 3 distant fascicles of branches in the bract axils; branches 2–4 together, unequal, 1.5–5(–9) cm long, well exserted from the sheath, slender, flexuous, compressed, scaberulous on the margins. Spikelets shortly pedicellate, in clusters of 2–8, 4–5mm long, 0.4–0.9 mm in diameter, linear-lanceolate, ?terete, 1-flowered, brown; pedicels 2–8 mm long; the rachis not elongated or flexuous. Glumes 5–6(–7), 1.4–4.0 mm long, lanceolate, acute, mucronate, obscurely distichous, membranous, purple to brown, white to translucent on the margins, keel often green or pale brown, glabrous, nerveless; basal 2 glumes 1.4–1.6 mm long, sterile; next glumes 2.4–4.0 mm long, upper glume with a bisexual flower. Hypogynous bristles 6, linear to linear-lanceolate, 1.1–2.0 mm long, longer than the nutlet, margins and surface with dense, white, short, antrorse ciliate-plumose hairs, falling with the nutlet. Stamens 3; filaments 2.7–2.8 mm long, glabrous; anthers pale yellow, not aging red, linear, 1.1–1.7 mm long, ~0.2 mm wide, twisted when dry, apiculum up to 0.4 mm long, narrowly triangular. Style 3-fid, 3.2–3.5 mm long, branching for 1/2–3/5 of its length, slender, of similar thickness throughout, not swollen at the base, dark brown at maturity, deciduous. Nutlet ovoid, with 3 whitish ribs, slightly reticulate-rugulose at 40? magnification, shortly hispidulous at the apex, glabrous below, greenish-brown when immature, olive-brown at maturity, the densely hairy apex sometimes remaining yellowish-brown, 0.9–1.3 mm long, 0.6–0.7 mm in diameter. [details]
