Description Culms obtusely trigonous in cross section, (25–)40–175 cm, smooth. Leaves: ligules 2.5–10 mm, as wide as long to wider than long; blades yellowish green to light green, M-shaped to flat, 6–18(–21) mm wide, smooth or sometimes finely papillose and scabrous adaxially, especially distally; widest leaves of vegetative shoots 8–18(–21) mm wide. Inflorescences 15–85 cm; bract sheaths prolonged, apex truncate to convex; proximal 3–5 spikes pistillate (occasionally a few empty scales at apex), erect or the proximal nodding, ovoid to short cylindric. Pistillate scales lanceolate to narrowly ovate, mostly 2/3 as long as to exceeding perigynia, apex acuminate-awned. Anthers 3–5 mm. Perigynia ascending to spreading, yellowish green, 18–26-veined, slightly inflated, lanceolate, 10.3–15.6 × 1.8–3.3 mm, 4–7 times as long as wide, apex gradually tapered, bidentulate; beak absent. Achenes (3.2–)3.4–4(–4.5) × 1.5–2.3 mm, (1.7–)1.8–2.4 times as long as wide. 2n = 56. [details]
