Description Rhizomes far-creeping, often ascending; shoots solitary, arising from elongated, decumbent base of flowering stem; roots red-brown; scales pale yellow-brown, chaffy, soon decaying. Stems 15–40 cm, stout, ± terete, striate, with few short leaves at base. Leaves up to 30 cm × 1–2 mm, stiff, erect, flat or ± involute, gradually narrowed to a ± trigonous fine point, mid green; hypostomous; sheaths forming short false stem, with inner face hyaline-brown and apex concave; lower sheaths pale brown-hyaline, often darkening; ligule 1–2 mm, rounded. Inflorescence a compact ± ovoid head, 7–15 mm; bracts glumaceous. Spikes 2–4, 4–8 mm, male at top, female at base, lower often entirely female. Male glumes c. 3.5 mm, oblanceolate-elliptic, pale red-brown; apex acute. Female glumes 3–4 mm, broadly ovate-elliptic, pale red-brown, hyaline towards margin; apex ± acute. Utricles (3–)3.5–4.5 mm, ovoid-ellipsoid, ± compressed, faintly ribbed, shiny, yellow-brown or often dark brown; beak c. 0.5 mm, bifid; stigmas 2; nut obovoid-oblong, stalked, with truncate apex.

Description Culms bluntly trigonous, 5–35 cm, smooth or scabrous distally; vegetative stems ascending to erect when young, becoming prostrate stolons at maturity, elongating to 120 cm. Leaves: sheaths with fronts pale brown at apex; ligules 0.6–6.2 mm; blades 0.4–3 mm wide. Inflorescences 5–16 × 4–12 mm; spikes ascending to spreading, ovoid to broadly ovoid, 4–8 × 2–5 mm. Pistillate scales brownish with green center and paler margins, ovate to broadly ovate. Staminate scales ovate, apex obtuse to acuminate. Perigynia dark brown, 12–28-veined, 1.4–2.2 mm wide, apex erose to weakly bidentulate, glossy. Achenes silvery brown, smooth. 2n = 60. [details]
