Description Densamente cespitosa. Tallos (3,5)15-25(31) cm, trígonos, con los ángulos obtusos, lisos, rectos o curvados. Hojas (0,3)0,5-1,2(1,9) mm de anchura, de longitud menor que los tallos, canaliculadas o plano-convexas excepcionalmente, planas, de poco a muy curvadas, muy raramente rectas; ásperas en los bordes, ± rígidas; lígula menor de 0,5 mm, de anchura mayor o menor que el limbo; sin antelígula; vainas basales con limbo desarrollado, solo las más inferiores escuamiformes, enteras, persistentes de modo que forman una gruesa capa en la base de la planta, de color pardo claro. Bráctea inferior de longitud menor que la inflorescencia, en ocasiones algo mayor, glumácea, con ápice setáceo. Espigas dispuestas en espiga simple de (1,1)1,2-1,6(2,5) cm, sésiles, densiflora, con más de 10 flores femeninas, densamente agrupadas aunque en ocasiones la inferior está un poco separada del resto. Glumas ovales, agudas, mucronadas o acuminadas, de color pardo generalmente oscuro, con o sin margen escarioso. Utrículos (5)5,5-6,5(7) × 1,5-1,8(2) mm, de contorno estrechamente oval, trígonos, prominentemente nerviados, verdosos o parduscos, gradualmente atenuados en un pico de 1-2(2,8) mm, escábrido o liso, de ápice profundamente bidentado, con una hendidura en la cara abaxial. Aquenios (2,5)2,7-3 × 1,2-1,5 mm, de contorno oval, trígonos, con una costilla verde en cada ángulo que los separa del estilo persistente en el ápice. 2n = ca. 86*. [details]

Translation Densely tufted. Stems (3.5)15–25(31) cm, trigonous, with obtuse angles, smooth, straight or curved. Leaves (0.3)0.5–1.2(1.9) mm wide, shorter than the stems, channelled or exceptionally plano-convex, flat, slightly to strongly curved, very rarely straight; margins rough, ± rigid; ligule less than 0.5 mm long, narrower or wider than the blade; without antiligule; basal sheaths with a developed blade, only the lowest scale-like, entire, persistent, forming a thick layer at the base of the plant, pale brown in colour. Lower bract shorter than the inflorescence, occasionally slightly longer, glumaceous, with a setaceous apex. Spikes arranged in a simple spike (1.1)1.2–1.6(2.5) cm long, sessile, densely flowered, with more than 10 female flowers, densely clustered although sometimes the lowest flower is slightly separated from the rest. Glumes oval, acute, mucronate or acuminate, generally dark brown, with or without a scarious margin. Utricles (5)5.5–6.5(7) × 1.5–1.8(2) mm, narrowly oval in outline, trigonous, prominently veined, greenish or brownish, gradually tapering into a beak 1–2(2.8) mm long, scabrid or smooth, with a deeply bifid apex and a slit on the abaxial face. Achenes (2.5)2.7–3 × 1.2–1.5 mm, oval in outline, trigonous, with a green rib on each angle separating them from the persistent style at the apex. 2n = ca. 86*. [details]
