Description Rhizomes slender, long, woody, long-stoloniferous. Culms central, 14–30 cm tall, slender, obtusely trigonous, lower part smooth and upper part scabrous, base with red-brown fibrous sheaths. Leaves shorter than culms; blades flat, 1–2 mm wide, margin scabrous. Bracts shortly leaf-like or uppermost setaceous, shorter to longer than inflorescence, base with 0.5–2 cm long sheaths. Spikes 2–4, remote; terminal 1 or 2 spikes staminate, narrowly cylindrical, 1–3.5 cm long, 1–2.5 mm wide, base with 0.3–6 cm long peduncles; lateral spikes pistillate, single or rarely binate, cylindrical, 0.8–2.7 cm long, 2.5–4 mm wide, 8–18-flowered, peduncles erect, slender, 0.3–7.5 cm long, exserted from sheaths. Staminate glumes obovate-lanceolate, red-brown, 5–5.5 mm long, apex acute or emarginate, with yellow 3-veined costa excurrent into a mucro. Pistillate glumes ovate or broadly ovate, red-brown, 2.5–2.8 mm long, margin whitish hyaline, apex acute or emarginate, with yellow-brown 3-veined costa excurrent into a mucro. Utricles red-brown and yellow-green below, ellipsoid, obtusely trigonous, 3–3.2 mm long, membranous, obliquely patent, inconspicuously several thinly veined, base cuneate and shortly stipitate, apex gradually contracted into a ca. 1 mm long beak, orifice truncate or 2-lobed with minute teeth, margin barbate. Nutlets tightly enveloped, yellow, obovoid, trigonous, 1.8–2 mm long, apex with ca. 0.3 mm long curved beak; style base not thickened; stigmas 2 or 3. [details]
