Description Rizoma de entrenudos largos, delgado. Tallos (12)15–25(35) cm, trígonos, lisos o algo escábridos hacia el ápice. Hojas 0,5–2 mm de anchura, de longitud mayor o menor que los tallos, planas o canaliculadas, muy papilosas, glaucás, ± blandas; lígula hasta 2 mm, de ápice redondeado; sin antelígula; vainas basales con limbo desarrollado, enteras o ± fibrosas, pardas. Bráctea inferior foliácea o con una corta vaina escariosa de color pardo oscuro y un limbo setáceo o foliáceo, de longitud menor, igual o poco mayor que la inflorescencia. Espiga masculina solitaria, de 10–20(25) mm, linear o fusiforme; espigas femeninas 1–2, de (8)10–15(20) mm, a veces la superior andrógina, ovoideas o cortamente cilíndricas, medianamente densifloras, un poco separadas, pedunculadas, la inferior colgante.
