Translation The rhizome is unknown to me. The erect stems are cylindrical but broadly sulcate, never angled, glabrous, with greenish simple stripes or rarely emitting one branch below, producing at the nodes fibrous-rooting below the middle, with leaves commonly 14 spiked but rarely with one lateral spike, reaching 29.5 cm high and about 1.5 mm in diameter, with a thin but rigid erect branch at the apex bearing spikes, with dark brown branching. Some leaves are long-sheathed and greenish: the ligule is annulated, nerviform or very short, truncated, brown, and sometimes with hyaline auricles at both ends, glabrous: the blade is flat or with the margin involute, very narrow, thick herbaceous, of uniform color on both sides, gradually tapering to a subulate apex, decurrent to the sheath, glabrous on both sides with a fissure but with a finely denticulate margin above, slightly rough, 5-14 cm long and 1.5-2 cm wide: the sheath is brown, submembranous, glabrous, abundantly striped and nervulose, 3-4 cm long. The spike is flat, oblong-ovate-oval, chestnut-brown, 0.8-2 cm long and 0.5-1.0 cm wide. Leaf bracts below the single spike, which are shorter or sometimes much longer, are subulate-linear, greenish or chestnut-brown, except for the canaliculate nervosa base, with a slightly scabrid margin above, and are 0.5-8.0 cm long and 1-2 mm wide. The subulate membranous bracteoles are chestnut-brown, gradually tapering to a point, with a base that is di1 atate, elevated on the back, nervated, glabrous, and up to 1 cm long. The spikes are distichous, alternately densely approximated, narrowly oblong, with 4-10 flowers, 0.5-1.0 cm long and 2-4 mm wide. The scales are membranous and shiny The leaves are glabrous, oblong-elliptical to broadly ovate with acute or acuminate tips, not mucronate, and truncate at the base, 3-5-nerved, often ribbed or keeled in the middle, and greenish above, chestnut-brown below, but sometimes with a broadly white-hyaline margin intact, 4-7 mm long and 2-4 mm wide. Stamens 3: filaments flat, very narrowly linear, white-translucent, glabrous, about 5.5 mm long and 0.5 mm wide; anthers subulate-linear, ochroleucous, with a very short chestnut-colored acuminate appendage, produced at the base, cordate-emarginate, 2.5-3 mm long. Hypogynous setae about 5, unequal in length, thinly filiform, entirely brown, strict or partly very twisted-curved above the middle, retrorse-setulose below the middle, glabrous, up to 1 cm long. The style is brown, thicker below, gradually thinner upwards, and glabrous, 2-4 mm long.  [details]
