Description Rhizomes shortly creeping; shoots single or in small tufts; roots pale yellow-brown; scales shiny, red-orange-brown, occasionally blackish, persistent. Stems 30–70 cm, rigid, sharply trigonous. Leaves 25–60 cm × 1.5–2.0 mm, ± flat or keeled, gradually tapered to a fine rough point, grey-green to glaucous, with margins ± inrolled; hypostomous; sheaths red- or orange-brown, inner face hyaline-brown, persistent, fibrillose; ligule c. 3 mm, acute. Inflorescence c. 1/4 length of stem; upper bracts glumaceous or setaceous, lower bracts leaf-like, equalling or slightly exceeding inflorescence, scarcely sheathing. Spikes 2–5, contiguous or remote, 7–15 mm, erect, terminal female at top, male at base, lower spikes female; peduncles 2–12 mm, rough. Male glumes 4 mm, lanceolate-elliptic, reddish-black with pale midrib; apex acute. Female glumes 3–5 mm, ovate-triangular, asymmetrical, dark red-brown with pale midrib; apex acuminate or aristate. Utricles 3–4.5 mm, indistinctly ribbed, pale green, oblong-ovoid, slightly tapering with ± straight sides, ± inflated; apex obtuse; beak absent or very short, notched; stigmas 3; nut ellipsoid, trigonous. [details]

Description Plants cespitose, long-rhizomatous. Culms 25–75 cm, distally scabrous. Leaves 2–3.5 mm wide. Inflorescences: proximal bracts shorter than, equaling, or exceeding inflorescences; spikes separate, erect, short-pendunculate, short-oblong or elongate, 10–25 × 6–10 mm; lateral 2–3(–4) spikes pistillate; terminal spike gynecandrous. Pistillate scales light to dark brown, lanceolate, shorter or much longer and narrower than perigynia, midvein lighter colored than body, conspicuous, often raised, prominent, apex acute or acuminate, mucronate, mucro 0.5–3 mm. Perigynia ascending, gray green or whitish, faintly veined, elliptic, 2.5–4 × 1.5–2 mm, apex beakless or abruptly beaked, densely papillose; beak to 0.2 mm. Achenes nearly filling body of perigynia. 2n = ca. 106. [details]
