Description Culms slender, 0.9 mm wide. Basal leaves with the leaf sheath little larger than the narrow leaf blades (up to c. 1.5 mm wide). Inflorescence fairly contracted panicle, with fewer spikelets, and composed of four to five fascicles. Peduncles longest 8.5 cm. Pedicels of the spikelets two to eight mm long, flattened, margins scabrid. Spikelets 6–7 × 1.5 mm, purple. Glumes clearly distichous, lower five to six empty glumes mucronate to acute, upper two fertile glumes obtuse. Perianth bristles 6, 5.5 mm long, pale to rusty-coloured, antrorsely ciliate. Stamens 3; anthers 3.5 mm, linear, apiculate. Nutlet immature. [details]

Description Culms slender, 0.9 mm wide. Basal leaves with the leaf sheath little larger than the narrow leaf blades (up to c. 1.5 mm wide).
