Description Perennial, rhizomes inconspicuous. Culms 38–53 × 0.04–0.2 cm. Leaves mostly basal, forming a rosette; sheathes 0.5–4.8 cm long; blades flat, 13–34 × 0.06–0.19 cm. Synflorescence comprising an apical corymbodium and 2–-3 axillary corymbodia, each of them loose and composed of partial corymbodia, and these comprised of single spikelets or fascicles of spikelets; apical corymbodium 2–5.5 × 3.2–6 cm, the axillary ones 1.3–4.4 × 2–5.4 cm. Spikelets 3–3.5 mm long, narrowly ellipsoid; glumes caducous in mature spikelets; basal glumes stramineous, ovate-lanceolate, membranaceous, acute-mucronate at apex; distal glumes stramineous, lanceolate, membranaceous, apically acute. Stamens 3, the anthers 0.9-2 mm long. Achene body 0.8–1 × 0.8–0.9 mm, broadly-obovate, stramineous to brown, the surface transversely rugulose, with 9–12 transverse ridges. Stylopodium 0.5–0.8 × 0.4–0.8 mm, triangular, tapering to a subulate tip, concave at base, stramineous to brown, confluent with achene. [details]
