Description Rhizomes dark brown, woody, stiff, sometimes stoloniferous, with black-brown fibrous roots. Culms central, loosely caespitose, 40–80 cm tall, trigonous. Leaves basal and cauline; basal leaves longer than or almost equal to culms, blades 5–12 mm wide, coriaceous, apex acuminate, margin scabrous; cauline leaves 1 or 2, sometimes absent, slightly longer than inflorescence, blades 5–9 mm wide, coriaceous, apex acuminate, margin scabrous. Bracts leaf-like, longer than or slightly longer than inflorescence, 2.5–8 mm wide, with the lowest sheath to 2 cm long, upper sheaths shorter or sheath absent. Panicle compound, 15–28 cm long, 2 inflorescence branches in each bract sheath, rarely single; inflorescence branch 5–8.5 cm long, base pedunculate; bractlets scale-like, broadly ovate-round, yellow-brown, 4–5 mm long, ca. 4.5 mm wide, apex obtuse or mucronate, with yellow 1-veined costa. Spikes 13–46, sessile, 4–7 in a racemose; terminal spikes narrowly ovate or ovate-elliptic, 13–17 mm long, 6–7 mm wide, base with 3–6 pistillate flowers, staminate part 6–8 mm long; lateral spikes elliptic-lanceolate, 7–12 mm long, 2–3.5 mm wide, base with single pistillate flower, staminate part 5–8 mm long. Staminate glumes narrowly obovate or obovate-elliptic, yellow-brown, 6.5–7 mm long, apex acuminate or obtuse, with yellow 1-veined costa. Pistillate glumes broadly ovate, yellow-brown, 6.5–7 mm long, apex obtuse, with yellow 1-veined costa excurrent into a 0.5–1 mm long scabrous awn. Utricles pale brown, obovoid, compressed trigonous, 9–10 mm long, obliquely patent, glabrous, abaxially, and adaxially with 9 or 10 veins, respectively, apex gradually contracted into a 3–3.5 mm long erect beak, orifice obliquely truncate, margin barbate. Nutlets loosely enveloped, grey-brown, narrowly ovoid, trigonous, ca. 3.5 mm long, base with ca. 0.7 mm long stipe; style base curved, not thickened; stigmas 3. [details]
