Description Rhizome stoloniferous, widely spreading, forming mats. Clum 3-11 in each point on rhizome, 15-40 cm tall, strongly trigonous towards apex, angle scabrulous.Leaves lower 3/4 part of the clum, shorter than or just exceeding the inflorescence, flat, grass like, scabrous at margin, 0.8-2 mm broad; bladeless sheath elliptic –lanceolate, acute, glabrous, brown, nerves raised, not disintegrated into fibers. Spikes solitary, erect, terminal, androgynous, 1.7-2.5 cm × 2-3 mm, male part 4-9 mm long, utricle 8-17, moderately densely placed on rachis, one overlapping others. Female glume oblong, 2-3 × 1.8-2.2 mm, excluding awn, truncate to rounded at top,midrib broad, 3-nerved extended into 0.5-2 mm long, scabrid awn. Utricle ellipsoid, obscurely trigonous, stipitate, 3.2-4 × 1.3-2 mm, gradually narrowed into
beak, glabrous, membranous, 3-5-nerved on each face, nerves raised, pale yellow, aperture truncate; stigma 3, c. 1 mm long. Male glumes elliptic – lanceolate, 3.8-4 × 1.5-1.8 mm, glabrous, membranous, pale yellow. Nutlet oblong, c. 2 × 1 mm, strongly trigonous, pale yellow, covering almost whole part of utricle.
