Description Perennial and cespitose. Stems 7–40 cm long, trigonous, smooth, erect, or slightly curved. Leaves 0.9–3 mm wide, usually shorter than the stems, flat, light green; ligule short, slightly protruding beyond the sheath apex, truncate to rounded, scarious, absent in cauline leaves; anteligule 1–2 mm, rounded; basal leaf sheaths inconspicuous, weak, light brown. Lowest bract 1–6 cm × 0.5–3 mm, as long as or slightly longer than the inflorescence, shortly leaf-like, sometimes bristle-like. Male spike solitary, 7–20 × 3–3.5(4.2) mm, terminal, widely fusiform to elliptical, with a peduncle 1–15(20) mm long. Female spikes 1–3, with the lowest one 7–10 mm long, generally clustered at the stem apex, sessile or short-peduncled, erect; sometimes with a long-peduncled basal spike; rarely some spikes androgynous. Male glumes oval, subacute to obtuse, entirely brown, with a lighter middle nerve. Female glumes oval, subacute to obtuse, brown, with a lighter middle nerve and sometimes an inconspicuous scarious margin. Stigmas 3. Utricles 3.2–4.5(4.8) × 0.9–1.5 mm, green to dark brown; those from the lower half of the spike strongly deflexed, those from the upper half deflexed to patent, and the apical ones patent to erect-patent; elliptical, trigonous, plurinerved, gradually attenuated into a 1.2–2.2(2.5) mm, deflexed (30–40º relative to the utricle body), bidentate or bifid, smooth beak. Achenes 1.5–1.8 × 1 mm, narrowly obovate, trigonous. [details]
