Description Perennial herbs. Rhizomes long, creeping, indurate, obliquely ascending. Culms 8–17 cm tall, compressed trigonous, nearly filiform, slender, soft and smooth, glabrous, with pale grayish brown, persistent bladeless sheaths at base. Leaves nearly equaling the culms; blades 1–2 mm wide, flat, scabrous on distal margins. Involucral bracts leaf-like or distal ones setaceous, nearly equaling the inflorescence, sheathing; sheaths 5–10(–15) mm long, with the most proximal one longer than the others. Spikes 3 or 4; terminal spike gynecandrous, clavate, 7–12 mm long, with 3–5 pistillate flowers at apex; lateral spikes remote, shortly cylindrical, 5–13 mm long, 2.5–3 mm wide, the lowest exerted from base of culm; peduncles filiform, exerted from sheaths. Staminate scales ovate, 3–3.5 mm long, yellowish white, acuminate at apex, with costa green, 3-veined. Pistillate scales broadly ovate, 2.2–2.5 mm long, yellowish white, obtuse at apex, with costa green, 3-veined. Perigynia obovoid, trigonous (excluding beak), longer than pistillate scales (including beak), 3–3.5 mm long, greenish yellow, membranaceous, densely hispidulous, 2-veined laterally and inconspicuously thinly veined, attenuate and shortly stipitate at base, gradually contracted into a ca. 0.7 mm long beak at apex; orifice obliquely lobed, sparsely hirtellous at margins. Achenes tightly enveloped, obovoid, trigonous, yellowish brown, ca. 2 mm long, attenuate at base, truncate at apex; styles glabrous, not thickened at base; stigmas 3. [details]
