Description Rhizomes 0.6–0.9 mm diam, flexible and short, covered by cataphylls and old sheaths, sometimes dissociated into fibers. Culms 10–50 × 0.04–0.11 cm, glabrous or pilose apically near the spikelets, and with a longitudinal groove. Leaves 7–20 × 0.1–0.3 cm, entirely green, pilose, rarely glabrous or antrorsely scabrous along the margins and abaxially along the midvein; sheath 0.5–4 cm long. Synflorescence formed by a terminal paniculodium and 2–3 axillary paniculodia, all contracted (rarely open to loosely contracted) and composed of partial paniculodia, and these by fascicles of spikelets; axes above second order, usually pilose at the angles, especially the ones closest to the spikelets; apical paniculodium 0.9–2 (–2.5) × 0.8–2 cm and the axillary 0.6–1.5 × 0.6–1.5 cm. Spikelets 4–5 mm long, oblong-lanceoloid. Glumes ovate to lanceolate, stramineous, membranaceous, with a hyaline margin, the apex obtuse, acute, or in some cases shortly bilobed,
short-mucronate, the mucron glabrous; usually only the first three flowers developing achenes. Anthers 2 mm long. Achene 0.8–1.1 × 0.8–1 mm, orbicular, brownish when young to black when mature, the apex obtuse, the surface transversely undulate-rugose. Stylopodium 0.2–0.4 mm long, semilunate,
greyish to blackish. Figures 1(A, F, I, K) and 3. [details]
