Description Plants perennial; rhizomes 0.5–1.5 mm thick, scales persistent, 5–10 mm, thinly membranous, not fibrous; resting buds absent (non-resting buds on rhizome apex ellipsoid, 10 × 2–5 mm); caudices present, hard, 2 mm thick. Culms erect, not spirally twisted, not contracted near spikelet, when dry usually with several blunt to acute ridges and sulcate, subterete to slightly compressed, to 2 times as wide as thick, (5–)10–40 cm × 0.5–1.2 mm, firm to hard, finely many-ridged at 10–20X; culm tufts not proximally bulbous. Leaves: distal leaf sheaths stramineous to brown or reddish proximally, green to stramineous distally, subtruncate to obtuse, membranous to papery; apex brown to red. Spikelets 5–10 × 2–4 mm; proximal scale usually empty, 3–5 mm, usually 1/2 or more as long as spikelet; floral scales 8–12 per spikelet, lanceolate (to ovate), 3.5–5 × 2–2.5 mm. Flowers: perianth bristles 6, equal, the longest equaling achene to exceeding tubercle, very slender, spinules dense; anthers 1.6–3.5 mm. Achenes medium brown to gray or dark brown, equilaterally trigonous to compressed trigonous, rarely some biconvex, 2–2.7 × 0.7–1.3 mm, apex tapered to a distinct stramineous beak 0.2–0.9 × 0.3–0.6 mm. Tubercles 0.4–0.5 × 0.3–0.5 mm. [details]
