Description Rhizome caespitose, stout, with short internodes, dark-brown. Flowering culms (77)100–180(200) cm long, erect, obtusely trigonous, smooth, leafy up to half its length, (2.6)3–3.7(4) mm wide at the middle. Leaves (4.1)5.5–9.6(12.8) mm wide, shorter than the inflorescence, moderately rigid, glaucous, flat in cross-section, scabrous on the margins—mainly in the uppermost parts—and sometimes also along the abaxial midrib; adaxial surface smooth except at the apical part; straight at the apex; ligule 4–17 mm long. Basal sheaths entire to scarcely fibrous, usually with lamina. Lowest bract leaf-like, shorter than the inflorescence, with a sheath (20)29–63(80) mm long. Inflorescence about ¼ of the length of the culm, branching up to 4 times; partial inflorescences (4)6–9(11), the 2–4 lowest long-pedunculate and more or less distant, the upper sessile to shortly pedunculate and overlapping. Glumiform perigynia and glumiform cladoprophylls absent. Tubular cladoprophylls always present, hyaline to brownish. Utriculiform cladoprophylls always present. Male glumes (1.9)2.2–3.6(4.2) × 1.4–2.1 mm, ovate, elliptic or obovate, yellowish-brown to dark brown, with a green central band, usually mucronate, with an aculeate mucro up to 0.6 mm long. Female glumes (2.7)3.1–3.8(4.4) × 1.5–2.3(2.8) mm, ovate, yellowish-brown to brown, with a green central band, ending in an aculeate mucro up to 2(4) mm. Unisexual utricles (3.7)5–6.8(7.6) × (0.8)0.9–1.1(1.2) mm, linear to narrowly ellipsoid, long-stipitate, straight or more rarely arcuate, straw-coloured to yellowish-brown when mature, more or less aculeate in the upper third, with numerous prominent veins across the entire surface, suberect to erecto-patent, gradually attenuate into a split-on-one-side beak up to 1.5(1.9) mm; rachilla reaching to protruding from the apex of the utricle by up to 0.5 mm, sometimes bearing 1–few small, sterile glumes at the top. Bisexual utricles with the apex wide and obliquely truncate. Achenes (2.9)3–3.9(4.1) × (0.6)0.8–1.1 mm, oblong, trigonous, straw-coloured to yellowish-brown when mature, tipped by a neck-like, more rarely subterete, persistent style base. [details]
