Description Rhizomes creeping, woody, stiff, with many brown fibrous roots. Culms central, loosely caespitose, 25–60 cm tall, acutely trigonous, smooth, glabrous, with single bract-like leaf near base. Leaves basal, far shorter than culms; blades less than 12 cm long, flat, 2.5–5.5 mm wide, coriaceous, apex acuminate, margin slightly scabrous. Lower bracts shortly leaf-like, longer than spikes, upper ones setaceous, shorter than spikes, all bracts sheathed; sheaths 0.5–2.5 cm long. Spikes 4 or 5 in a racemose, terminal spike androgynous, clavate-cylindrical, 1.5–3 cm long, 2–2.5 mm wide, base with 1–6 pistillate flowers and a 1–2.5 cm long peduncle, lateral spikes pistillate, sometimes with 3–6 staminate flowers at apex, cylindrical, 1–2.5 cm long, 5–5.5 mm wide, 8–24-flowered, lower 1 or 2 peduncles exserted from sheaths, upper ones enclosed. Staminate glumes obovate, yellow-brown, 4.5–5 mm long, apex acute, with yellow 1-veined costa excurrent into a mucro. Pistillate glumes ovate, yellow-brown, margin whitish hyaline, 4–4.3 mm long, apex acute or obtuse, with yellow 1-veined costa excurrent into a 0.5–1 mm scabrous awn. Utricles yellow-brown, ovoid, obtusely trigonous, 5–6 mm long, obliquely patent, abaxially thinly 11–14-veined, adaxially thinly 8- or 9-veined, glabrous, apex gradually contracted into a 2–2.5 mm long beak, orifice 2-lobed with short teeth, margin barbate or smooth. Nutlets tightly enveloped, yellow-brown, broadly ovoid, trigonous, 2.3–2.5 mm long, base with a stipe ca. 0.3 mm long; style base slightly thickened; stigmas 3. [details]
