Description Stoloniferous perennial, forming loose tufts, (13-)20-40 cm. Rhizome covered by dark brown, soon fibrous scales. Stem obtusely trigonous, smooth. Leaves 1/2-2/3 of stem length, erect, sometimes curled; sheaths 20-30 mm, grey to grey-brown, margin of scarious side almost straigth; ligule c. 0.2 mm, scarcely arched; blades 1-2 mm wide, flat, long-attenuate, basal part adaxially frequently scabrous, margins and keel scabrous towards apex.
