Description Rhizomes shortly creeping, with tufted shoots often forming a close mat; roots dark brown or purple-brown; scales deep brown or blackish-brown, becoming fibrous. Stems 2–20 cm, bluntly trigonous, ± leafless or with 3 very short leaves at the base. Leaves up to 15 cm × 1.5–4 mm, often recurved, papillose and somewhat rough on the upper surface, shiny, ± flat, tapered ± abruptly to a short trigonous point, mid green to yellow-green, serrulate with a narrow scarious margin, sometimes overwintering; hypostomous; sheaths herbaceous, becoming brown and fibrous, inner face hyaline; apex straight; ligule <1 mm, rounded, with minute, ± entire free margin. Inflorescence (1.5–)2–3 cm; bracts glumaceous, the lowest scarcely sheathing. Male spike 1, 10–15 mm, narrowly cylindrical; male glumes 2–3 mm, oblong, deep chestnut to purple-brown, with scarious, fringed margin and rounded apex. Female spikes 1–3, ± contiguous, 5–12 mm, ovoid, erect, sessile; female glumes 2–2.5 mm, rounded, deep chestnut, darkening through purple-brown to black, with scarious, fimbriate margin. Utricles 2–3 mm, subglobose-trigonous, tomentose, pale to rich green, becoming brown at apex; beak very short; stigmas 3; nut subglobose. [details]

Description Cespitosa, con rizoma ± robusto, a veces con entrenudos algo largos. Tallos (30)50-70(100) cm, obtusamente trígonos, casi lisos o escábridos. Hojas (2)2,5-5(5,5) mm de anchura, de longitud igual o mayor que los tallos, muy ásperas en los bordes, planas; lígula 4-8 mm, de ápice obtuso o agudo; sin antelígula; vainas basales con limbo desarrollado, enteras, de color pardo claro o rojizas. Bráctea inferior folíacea, de mayor longitud que la inflorescencia, envainante. Espiga masculina solitaria, de (15)30-50(60) mm, linear o estrechamente fusiforme; espigas femeninas (3)4-5(6), de (4)6-9 mm, ovoides, densifloras, superiores juntas a la masculina, e inferiores ampliamente pedunculadas, con pedúnculos filiformes. Glumas masculinas ovales, obtusas, de color pardo rojizo claro, con margen escarioso estrecho; glumas femeninas ovales, obtusas o mucronadas, hialinas, de menor longitud que los utrículos. Estigmas 3. Utrículos 2-2,8 × 1,4-1,8 mm, suberectos, ovoides, con nervios bien marcados, densamente pubescentes, brusca y profundamente estrechados en un pico de 0,3-0,5 mm, truncado.

Translation Tufted, with a ± robust rhizome, sometimes with rather long internodes. Stems (30)50–70(100) cm, obtusely trigonous, almost smooth or scabrid. Leaves (2)2.5–5(5.5) mm wide, as long as or longer than the stems, very rough along the margins, flat; ligule 4–8 mm, with an obtuse or acute apex; without an antigule; basal sheaths with a developed blade, entire, light brown to reddish.

Male spike solitary, (15)30–50(60) mm long, linear or narrowly fusiform; female spikes (3)4–5(6), (4)6–9 mm long, ovoid, densely flowered, upper ones close to the male spike, the lower widely pedunculate with filiform peduncles. Male glumes ovate, obtuse, light reddish brown, with a narrow scarious margin; female glumes ovate, obtuse or mucronate, hyaline, shorter than the utricles. Stigmas 3. Utricles 2–2.8 × 1.4–1.8 mm, suberect, ovoid, with well-marked nerves, densely pubescent, abruptly and deeply narrowed into a truncate beak 0.3–0.5 mm long.
