Description Rhizome caespitose, moderately stout, brown. Flowering culms 29–51 cm long, erect, obtusely trigonous, scabrid to the apex, leafy up to 1/3 of its length, 1–1.2 mm wide at the middle. Leaves 1.6–4.2 mm wide, shorter than the inflorescence, moderately rigid, more or less glaucous, flat in cross-section, straight at the apex; ligule not measured. Basal sheaths not or scarcely fibrous, usually with lamina, but those of the sterile shoots bladeless. Lowest bract leaf-like, longer than the inflorescence, not sheathing. Inflorescence c. ⅓ of the length of the culm, branching up to 3 times; partial inflorescences 2–5, the lowest short-pedunculate and more or less distant, the upper sessile to shortly pedunculate and overlapping. Glumiform perigynia and glumiform cladoprophylls not seen. Tubular cladoprophylls not seen. Utriculiform cladoprophylls present. Male glumes up to 4.5 mm long, lanceolate to ovate, yellowish-brown to brown, with a green central band, acute to acuminate. Female glumes 3.4–4.5 mm long, ovate, yellowish-brown to brown, shortly aristate, with a green central band. Unisexual utricles 4.9–7 × 0.6–0.8 mm, linear to narrowly ellipsoid, stipitate, strongly arcuate to straight, straw-coloured to yellowish brown when mature, with numerous prominent veins across the entire surface, suberect, gradually attenuate into an obliquely truncate beak up to 2 mm long; rachilla reaching to slightly protruding from the apex of the utricle; bisexual utricles with the beak widely and obliquely truncate. Achenes up to 6 mm long, oblong. [details]
