Leaves 1.4–3.6(5) mm wide, generally shorter than the culms, flat, slightly rigid, light or dark green, ± smooth; ligules up to 2.7 mm, obtuse or truncate; antiligules up to 1.5(4.2) mm, with rounded apex, sometimes absent; basal sheaths ± entire, brown. Lower bract 2.9–10(11) cm × 0.6–2.9(3.6) mm, generally longer than the inflorescence, leaf-like. Male spike solitary, (5)6.5–20(26) × 1.3–3 mm, cylindrical or fusiform, with a peduncle up to 4 cm long; female spikes (1)2–4, 4.5 × 4–11 mm, approximate or slightly distant, ellipsoid or subglobose, subsessile or shortly pedunculate, erect. Male glumes oblong, obtuse, brownish-maroon, scariosely margined; female glumes ovate, acute or obtuse, light or dark reddish-brown, with a narrow scarious margin, 1-nerved. Utricles 3–4.2(5) × 0.9–1.7(2) mm, lower ones reflexed, upper ones reflexed to spreading, apical ones usually spreading to suberect, outline elliptic to ovoid, ± inflated-trigonous, multi-nerved, abruptly narrowed into a beak 0.9–1.7(2.1) mm long, reflexed (25–90° with respect to the body of the utricle), bidentate or bifid, smooth or slightly scabrid.
