Description Rhizomatous perennial. Culms densely tufted, 12–23 cm by 0.1–0.4 mm, trigonous, glabrous. Leaves basal; blade narrow ly linear, 4–5 cm by 0.5 mm, obtuse, thickly crescentiform in cross-section, laterally flattened, glabrous; sheath 1–1.5 cm long, stramineous, sides membranous; ligule absent. Involucral bracts glume-like. Inflorescence a single terminal spikelet. Spikelet linear-cylindric, terete, 1 cm by 1.2–1.5 mm. Glumes 9 per spikelet, spirally arranged, lower glume glabrous, uppermost strigose, oblong elliptic, 6.5–8.5 by 1.5–2.3 mm, acuminate, sides membranous, stramineous, reddish brown tinged, keel obtuse, 1-nerved. Stamens 3; anthers 2–2.5 by 0.1–0.2 mm. Stigma branches 3; style persistent; style base rather indistinct, somewhat elongate, gradually widening into the nutlet, scabrous. Nutlets fusiform, trigonous, fimbriate, especially at apex and base, 2.5–3.8 by 0.5–0.85 mm, apex brown to dark brown, with minute hexagonal epidermal cells, longitudinal costae present [details]
