Description Shortly rhizomatous; slender, dull red sedge with ± distant tufts. Rhizome c. 1 mm diameter, closely covered by dark red striated bracts. Culms elongating when mature to c. 500 × c. 0.5 mm, glabrous, flattened or subterete; basal sheaths light brown or reddish, nerves ± distinct. Leaves c. ¾ length of culms, 1–2 mm wide, channelled, narrow-linear, margins scarcely scabrid at base with well-spaced teeth towards the tip. Spikes 3–4–(5), the uppermost ± approximate, sessile, the 1–(2) lowest often much more distant and on a long filiform peduncle; terminal spike male; remaining spikes female, 5–15 × 2–5 mm, rarely with a few male flowers at the base; subtending bracts leaf-like, > inflorescence. Glumes ± = or slightly < utricles, ovate, red-brown, midrib usually paler brown, but occasionally darker brown, margins scarious, tips usually emarginate with a short but rather broad scabrid awn. Utricles 2.0–3.0 × 1.0–1.5 mm, subtrigonous, narrow-ovoid, or almost oblong, light brown below, dark red-brown above, surface smooth or faintly nerved, margins smooth, slightly narrowed towards a beak < 0.5 mm long with a shallow bidentate scabrid orifice, somewhat contracted at the base to an extremely short stipe. Stigmas 3. Nut c. 2 mm long, trigonous, oblong-obovoid, light brown. [details]
