Description Plants perennial, cespitose, 30–80(–100) cm; rhizomes absent. Culms erect or excurved, mostly filiform, leafy proximal to midculm, obtuse-angled to subterete, wiry. Leaves overtopped by culm; blades narrowly linear, proximally flat, 1–2 mm wide, distally tapering-triquetrous. Inflorescences: spikelet clusters 2–3(–4), distant, narrowly turbinate to hemispheric, mostly shorter than subtending setaceous bract. Spikelets red-brown, lanceoloid, 2.5–3(–4) mm, apex acuminate; fertile scale elliptic, 2–2.5 mm, acute, midrib excurrent as cusp or aristula. Flowers: bristles 6, reaching tubercle tip or beyond, antrorsely barbellate, base setose. Fruits 2–4 per spikelet, 1.5–1.7 mm, on setose pedicellar joint 0.2 mm, body with faces red-brown with pale glassy center, decurrent tubercle base; surfaces smooth; turbercle concavely triangular, 0.4–0.6 mm, setulose-ciliate.
