Description Densamente cespitosa. Tallos fértiles de (40)60-130(170) cm. Hojas de (2)3,5-5(11) mm de anchura, planas, más raramente plegadas, más cortas que los tallos; vainas basales anaranjadas y/o teñidas de púrpura; lígula de (0,7)1,5-3,5(7) mm de longitud. Bráctea inferior foliácea, más corta que la inflorescencia, envainadora. Inflorescencia en racimo de espigas de aspecto diferente, la superior –más raramente las dos superiores– masculina, fusiforme; las 2-4 inferiores femeninas, cilíndricas, separadas, erectas o la inferior colgante. Glumas femeninas ovadas, mucronadas, de color rojo-purpúreo oscuro. Utrículos de (2,5)3-4(5) mm de longitud, variablemente teñidos de rojo, mates, suberectos, con todos los nervios perceptibles, pero solo los dos laterales muy prominentes, suavemente estrechados –con menos frecuencia bruscamente contraídos– en un pico de (0,5)0,8-1,2(1,4) mm, más o menos escábrido, bífido. Aquenios de contorno elíptico. 3 estigmas. 2n=72, 74. Brezales y prados húmedos, bordes de arroyos y turberas. [details]

Description Densely caespitose. Fertile stems (40)60–130(170) cm tall. Leaves (2)3.5–5(11) mm wide, flat, more rarely folded, shorter than the stems; basal sheaths orange and/or tinged with purple; ligule (0.7)1.5–3.5(7) mm long. Lower bract leafy, shorter than the inflorescence, sheathing. Inflorescence a raceme of spikes of different appearance, the upper one – more rarely the upper two – male, fusiform; the 2–4 lower ones female, cylindrical, separated, erect or the lowermost pendulous. Female glumes ovate, mucronate, dark reddish-purple. Utricles (2.5)3–4(5) mm long, variably tinged with red, dull, suberect, with all veins visible, but only the two lateral ones very prominent, gradually – less frequently abruptly – narrowed into a beak (0.5)0.8–1.2(1.4) mm long, somewhat scabrous, bifid. Achenes elliptic in outline. 3 stigmas. 2n=72, 74. Heathlands and wet meadows, stream margins and peat bogs. [details]
