Description Glabrous, tufted perennial with very short rhizome. Culms more or less terete, scabrous, 6–40 (rarely to 60) cm high, 0.5–1 mm diam. Leaves shorter than culms, to 1 mm wide. Inflorescence usually a single terminal spikelet, rarely with 1 or 2 extra spikelets on branches to 2 cm long; involucral bract more or less glume-like. Spikelets ovoid, compressed, acute, 6–15(-30) mm long, 3–6 mm diam. Glumes more or less leathery, acute, mucronate, with prominent 3-nerved midrib, 4.5–6.5 mm long, whitish to straw-coloured. Stamens 2 or 3; anthers 1.5–3 mm long. Style 2–5 mm long. Nut obtusely trigonous, obpyriform, sessile, 2–3 mm long, 1.2–2 mm diam., coarsely tuberculate except for smooth base, very rarely quite smooth, pale straw-coloured to grey-brown, epidermal cells minute, isodiametric. [details]
