Description A delicate tufted perennial with about 0.5 mm thick stolons. Culms 8–35 cm long and 0.4–0.7 mm thick, triangular, almost smooth; the base covered with brown sheathes. Leaf-blades 1–20 cm long and 0.3–1.5 mm wide, flat or incurved and then appearing almost filiform, scabrous on margin. Inflorescence a solitary terminal spike 1–3 cm long and 2–4 mm wide, consisting of 4–8 female flowers below and some male flowers above; glumes lanceolate with green middle and a yellowish-brown almost colourless or with red margin and yellowish brown margin above apex, rooted and minutely hairy or frayed. Style-branches 2. Utricle 6–7 mm long (including a 2.0–2.5 mm long very narrow beak), narrowly lanceolate with concave base and apex and with 2 longitudinal ribs, green as young, turning brown or olive as mature, sometimes the utricle without completely united edges and therefore exposing the nutlet on one side (in F. friesii E.P.
