Description Rhizomes stout, long, producing tufts of leaves at intervals of 15–20 cms. Leaves 20–40 cm. × 0.3–0.5 cm., strict, hard and coriaceous, shining, lower leaves tapered rather abruptly above, much exceeding the culms. Culms slender, nodding. Spikelets 8–10, 2–3 cm. × 0.3–0.5 cm., geminate or ternate, upper 2–4 male, more or less clavate, remainder female, sometimes with male flowers at the apices. Glumes ovate or obovate, 2 mm. × 1 mm. with a short hispid awn 0.5–1 mm. long, brown with a light 3-nerved midrib and hyaline margins, occasionally pale to almost completely hyaline. Utricles orbicular to broadly ovoid, stipitate and narrowed above into a beak, turgid, coriaceous, smooth and shining with prominent lateral ridges which are sometimes scabrid on the beak. Nut ovate to broadly ovoid to orbicular, completely filling the utricle. [details]
