Description Perennials. Rhizomes short. Culms green to grayish green, tufted, 10-50 cm tall, ca. 1 mm thick, few ribbed and longitudinally sulcate. Leaf sheaths 2, blood-red, tubular, 5-10 cm, mouth truncate, apex triangular dentate. Spikelet cylindric to ovoid-cylindric, 7-15 × ca. 3 mm, many flowered. Basalmost glume empty, amplexicaul for whole or nearly whole of spikelet base; fertile glumes dark blood-red to dark brown, slightly laxly imbricate, ovate, ca. 3 × 1.5 mm, midvein obscure, margin broadly to narrowly hyaline, apex obtuse. Perianth bristles absent or 4 or 5 and longer than nutlet. Stigmas 2.
