Translation A multi-footed, triangular, hairy stalk. The bracts are 4 lines wide, tapering, leathery in texture, flat, densely woolly-velvety, with square, brown, striated sheaths that are smooth and notched on both sides. The sheaths of the stem are narrow, triangular, woolly-velvety, barely an inch long, with a short, acute triangular lobe. The stem bracts are 4–8 inches long, 3 lines wide, similar to the others. The male fascicles in our specimen number four, with shorter inner ones, with multiple pedicels in an unequal, compressed-triangular, hairy monostachy. The purple male spikes are the size of sour plums, subglobose, composite, dense, and multiflorous. The bracteoles are oval, multi-nerved, awn-tipped, particularly hirsute toward the apex, with the upper ones smaller and with a shorter bidentate tip at the apex. The proper spikelets are 2–3 and several under each bracteole, linear, compressed, rusty; with 5–6 scales, linear and acutely monandrous. FEMALE SPIKES in bundles of 2 - 3 at the apex of the spike close to the multiflora, similar to males but more scaly due to the tips of the scales. Two outer bracteoles similar to males, inner ones smaller, membranous with somewhat pointed spikes not exceeding. Several flowers, of which 3 inner ones are oval, long-pointed and hairy, two inner ones are notched-bifid, with very short mucronate ciliations. Instead of a cupule, a shallow trilobed depression impressed on the apex of the rachilla. The pedicel is very short, brown, adhering to the base of the seed narrow. The base is very thickened; STIGMAS here. The covering is crustaceous-paper-like, yellow, oval, with a somewhat triplicate base, scarcely any pedicel, at the apex a brown umbilical depression, incised with three sutures and several fairly deep scars or depressions, while the middle part is smooth from the base, which corresponds to the thickness of the seed's base and is internally concave distinguished by a transverse septum from the cavity of the fruit. I did not see the SEED. [details]
