Description Rhizome densely caespitose, with short internodes, very stout, dark-brown. Flowering culms 72–84 cm long, obtusely trigonous, smooth, leafy up to the upper third of its length, (2.1)3.1–4.5 cm wide at the middle. Leaves (8)10–21(22) mm wide, shorter or longer than the inflorescence, quite rigid, middle to dark green, plicate in cross section, scabrous along the edges, at least in the upper two-thirds; abaxial surface smooth, but scabrous on the upper third of the midrib; adaxial surface smooth; ligule (17)21–41 mm long, usually obtuse. Basal sheaths entire, lowermost bladeless. Lowest bract of the inflorescence leaf-like, longer than the inflorescence length. Male spikes 2–3(4), 45–65 x (2.5)3–5 mm the upper one and 5–30(45) x 1.7–3.1(4) mm the lower one, fusiform; female spikes 3–4, (35)40–87(91) x 2.9–5.5 mm, cylindrical, the upper one sessile, the lower ones pedunculate and sometimes nodding, the intermediate generally androgynous and the lowest one usually female. Male glumes 4.3–5.1 x 1.1–1.7 mm, oblong to oblong-lanceolate, yellowish-brown with a green central band, shortly mucronate; female glumes 3.1–5 x 1.1–1.6 mm, ovate, yellowish-brown with a green central band, mucronate. Utricles (3.5)4.2–5.3(5.7) x 1.1–1.7 mm, suberect, narrowly ellipsoid-trigonous, smooth to very shortly and dispersely aculeolate at the apex, green to yellowish-brown when mature, with perceptible veins, although the two lateral ones are much more prominent, gradually attenuated (rarely contracted) into a bifid beak up to 0.8–1.9 mm long. Achenes 2.5–3.5 x (0.9)1–1.5 mm, ellipsoid-trigonous. [details]
