Description Rhizomes far-creeping; shoots tufted; roots rich brown-grey; scales red-brown, often blackened, persistent. Stems 10–30 cm, smooth, spongy, stiff, obtusely trigonous, soon overtopped by lower leaves and those on sterile shoots. Leaves up to 30 cm (or 60–70 cm in more sheltered plants) × 2–3(–4) mm, mid green, young leaves ± glaucous and matt on both surfaces, stiff, V-shaped, with upper 1/3–1/2 and tip toothed; amphistomous; not overwintering; sheaths herbaceous, pale brown, soon decaying, with inner face hyaline and transverse septa distinct; ligule acute, c. 5 mm; apex concave. Inflorescence 1/4–1/2 length of stem; lowest bract leafy, slightly shorter to slightly longer than inflorescence, often spathe-like, enclosing spike. Male spikes 1–2(–3), 1–2 cm; male glumes 4–6 mm, oblanceolate-elliptic, blackish-brown, hyaline at margins; apex obtuse. Female spikes 2–3, 1–3 cm, erect; lowest spike with peduncle up to 1.5 cm, sometimes lax-flowered at base; female glumes 4–5 mm, ovate-elliptic, mid to dark brown with broad pale centre and obvious midrib; some glumes three-veined; apex of upper florets apiculate; lower florets all aristate with awn ± 1 mm long, toothed. Utricles 2.5–3.5 mm, ellipsoid, with 0–3 veins beneath beak; beak 0.2–0.4 mm, conic, 0.5 mm at base, obliquely truncate or not; stigmas 2; nut orbicular or obovate, biconvex, glossy, usually deeply constricted on one face. [details]

Description Plants not cespitose. Culms obtusely angled, 6–35 cm, glabrous. Leaves: basal sheaths brown; sheaths of proximal leaves glabrous, fronts lacking spots and veins, apex U-shaped; blades amphistomic, 2–3 mm wide, papillose on both surfaces. Proximal bract longer than inflorescence, 1.5–4 mm wide. Spikes erect; staminate 1–2; pistillate 2–4; proximal pistillate spike 1–3.1 cm × 2–5 mm, base cuneate. Pistillate scales brown, 2.5–8 × 1–1.7 mm (including awn), wider than perigynia, midvein reaching apex, 1/3–1/2 the width of scale, apex acute or acuminate, often aristate, awn glabrous or scabrous. Perigynia ascending, pale brown, incompletely 0–3-veined on each face, somewhat inflated, loosely enclosing achenes, ellipsoid, (2–)2.5–3.3 × 1.2–1.9 mm, dull, base with stipe to 0.2 mm, apex acute, short-papillose; beak cylindric to conic, 0.2–0.4 × 0.3–0.4 mm. Achenes deeply constricted on 1 face, apex truncate to retuse, glossy; style base bent, rarely straight. 2n = 77, 78, 79. [details]
