Description Culms 40–100 cm × 2–3 mm, often scabrous. Basal sheaths cinnamon to reddish-brown. Leaves 50–145 cm × (3.0)5.1–8.0 mm largest ones, longer than the culms, oldest ones orangey-brownish at the base, scabrous at the margin, revolute or flat, rigid. Inflorescence racemose, (8.8)17.1–27.8 cm long, with 10–25 androgynous spikes, erect, spreading or dropping. Proximal-most bract 7.5–38.5 cm × 3–7 mm, usually longer than the inflorescence, but in the smaller plants subequal, scabrous at the margin. Spikes (1.0)3.6–9.8(12.8) cm × 4.4–6.7(9.0) mm, cylindric-linear, flexuous, laxly to more or less densely flowered, the distal 1/4–1/6 staminate, mostly unbranched, with about 70–160(200) female flowers, peduncles trique-trous, scabrous or smooth, shorter or longer than the spikes. Pistillate glumes 2.2–3.2(4.2) × 0.8–2.0 mm, elliptic to ovate-lanceolate, acute, emucronate or mucro-nate, reddish-brown to purple with a stramineous middle longitudinal strip and narrow hyaline margins. Stigmas 3. Utricles 2.0–3.7 × 0.8–2.1 mm, thin walled, ob-ovate to elliptic, tumid-biconvex to round-trigonous or subterete, often inflate, papillose or smooth, sometimes the surface irregular with round bumps, stramine-ous, often ferrugineous spotted, lateral nerves conspicuous, the other nerves not evident or more or less patent, abruptly constricted at the apex into a 0.1–0.4 mm long straight beak, smooth, shortly bidentate to oblique-truncate, teeth 0.1–0.2 mm long. Nutlets 1.4–2.3(2.6) × 0.8–1.5 mm, obovate to elliptic, castaneous to viola-ceous, often invaginated; style strongly lignified, leaving a cylindrical, 0.1 mm long remnant at the apex of the nutlet. [details]

Distribution Central and eastern Mexico, on the Mexican Volcanic Belt (States of Guanajuato, Michoacán, Morelos, Mexico, Ciudad de México, Hidalgo and Puebla), the southern foothills of the Sierra Madre Oriental (State of Veracruz), and the Sierra Madre del Sur (northern Oaxaca). [details]

Etymology The epithet tuberculata was given by Liebmann because he described the utricle as tubercled.
