Description Rhizome caespitose, with short internodes. Stems 82-145 cm, very stout, trigonous, smooth, green to yellowish-green, but densely dark purplish-red spotted or tinted towards the base. Leaves 16-65 cm × 11-14 mm, plicate, revolute, rigid, slightly scabrid on the edges and apical parts; sheaths dark purplish; ligule 2.5-7.5 mm, obtuse; anteligule edge flat. Inflorescence 25-58 cm, lowest internode 5-20 cm and the second one 3-12.5 cm. Lowest bract 13-28 cm × 4-9 mm, shorter than the inflorescence (sometimes longer); sheath 5-9.5 cm long, the inner side purplish-red. Spikes 5-21, subhomomorphic to subheteromorphic, 0-3 male spikes at the top and 5-20 androgynous lateral spikes, with the male part increasingly longer along the stem; terminal spike 1-8 cm × 4-10 mm, ± terete, peduncle up to 2 cm; lateral spikes, 1-6.5 cm × 5-11 mm, dense-flowered, widely terete, some of them arising in groups of three, the rest singly or in pairs, sometimes with a few short branches at the base of the largest spikes, peduncle up to 8 cm. Male glumes 5.57 × 1.4-2 mm, oblong-lanceolate to oblanceolate, dark brown to reddish-brown with straw or green coloured midrib, mucronate or aristate, mucro or acumen up to 1 mm, rarely obtuse. Female glumes 4-5.5 × 1.4-1.8 mm, oblong-lanceolate, reddish-brown to purplish, with straw or green coloured midrib, mucro or acumen up to 1 mm, rarely obtuse. Utricles 4.2-5.5 × 1.21.7 mm, brown with reddish-brown or purplish-red speckles, ellipsoid to obovoid-trigonous, straight, plurinerved, tapered to a beak, sometimes purplish coloured in the whole of the upper half; beak 1-1.7 mm, truncate o bidentate, with ventral sinus deeper than dorsal one, the latter up to 0.2 mm depth, smooth or with a few short, scattered, prickles. Achenes 2.7-3 × 0.9-1.3 mm, ellipsoid-trigonous. [details]
