Description Erect slender annual to short-lived perennial, forming dense tussocks, rhizome very short. Culms not noded or 1(2)-noded below inflorescence, slender, flexible, terete throughout, striate when dried, smooth, 12–65 cm tall, 0.7–1.1 mm in diameter. Leaves mostly basal, sometimes 1(2) per culm cauline, with well developed blade, 3.5–12 cm long, shorter than the culms; blade ?flat above, semi-circular below, rigid, striate below, glabrous on the margins, 0.4–1.7 mm wide; sheath not equitant, scarcely dilated at the base, yellowish-brown to reddish-brown, striate, ?shining, with firm, brown 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, 2.7–9 cm long, sometimes breaking off after anthesis, upper bracts decreasing in length, reduced to a linear lamina, not spreading; sheath, 2.5–17 mm long, brown, lamina linear. Inflorescence interrupted, paniculiform, erect, rather diffuse, narrow, 6–42 cm long, with several internodes, consisting of 5–9 distant fascicles of branches in the bract axils; primary branches solitary, unequal, 2–13 cm long, well exserted from the sheath, slender, flexuous, compressed, glabrous on the margins; secondary branches 1–6, 1.5–3.2 cm long. Spikelets shortly pedicellate, in clusters of (1–)3(–4), 4–6 mm long, 1.1–1.5 mm wide, narrow-ovate, compressed, 1- or 2(–3)-flowered, pale brown; pedicels 3–18 mm long; the rachis not elongated or flexuous. Glumes 4–8, 1.4–5.6 mm long, narrow-ovate, acute, mucronate, obscurely distichous, membranous, straw-coloured with reddish patches, keel often green, ?shining, white to translucent on the margins, glabrous, nerveless; basal 2 glumes 1.4–2.0 mm long, sterile; next glumes 2.3–5.6 mm long, upper-most glume smaller, with a bisexual flower, 1 (or 2) glumes below with a male fertile flower. Hypogynous bristles 6, ?linear, 0.3–0.8 mm long, shorter than nutlet, margins with scattered, white, short, antrorse ciliate hairs, falling with the nutlet. Stamens 3; filaments 3.8–4.2 mm long, glabrous; anthers yellow, aging red, linear, 1.6–2.8 mm long, ~0.2 mm wide, twisted when dry, apiculum to 0.2 mm long, narrowly triangular. Style 3-fid, 3.8–5.1 mm long, branching for 2/5–1/2 of its length, slender, of similar thickness throughout, not swollen at the base, dark brown at maturity, deciduous. Nutlet trigonous, ovoid to obovoid, with 3 fine, whitish ribs, reticulate at 40? magnification, shortly hispidulous in the upper 1/3–1/2, glabrescent below, green to reddish to brown when immature, dull, blackish brown at maturity, 1.0–1.3 mm long, 0.6–0.8 mm in diameter. [details]
