Description Rhizomes 2–6 mm diam, ligneous and short, covered by cataphylls and old sheaths often dissociated into fibers. Culms 30–77 × 0.08–0.2 cm, glabrous or scabrous apically near the spikelets, and with a longitudinal groove along its length. Leaves 17–66 × 0.15–0.5 cm, entirely green, glabrous or antrorsely scabrous along the margins and abaxially along the midvein; sheath 1–5 cm long. Synflorescence comprising a terminal paniculodium and 1–3 axillary paniculodia, all contracted to subcontracted and composed of partial paniculodia, and these by fascicles of spikelets; axes above second order, usually scabrous at the angles, especially the ones closest to the spikelets; apical paniculodium 2–4(–5.5) × 1–3 cm and the axillary 1–3 × 0.6–3 cm. Spikelets 2.8–3.8 mm long, ovate to ovate-lanceoloid. Glumes ovate to lanceolate, dark brown, membranaceous, the apex obtuse, acute, or in some cases shortly bilobed, short-mucronate, the mucron glabrous; usually only the first two flowers developing achenes. Anthers 1.3–1.5 mm long. Achene 0.8–0.9 × 0.7–1 mm, orbicular, apex obtuse, stramineous when young to brown when mature, surface transversely undulate-rugose. Stylopodium 0.4–0.6 mm long, semilunate-subulate, brown. [details]
