Description Rhizomes slender, shortly creeping, often much branched, forming an open mat; shoots loosely tufted; roots cream or pale yellow-brown; scales pale (rarely dark) brown, striate, persistent. Stems 7–27 cm, stiff, trigonous, often curved, solid. Leaves up to 20 cm, 1–2 mm, with c. 9 veins, stiff, thick, ± channelled, mid green, gradually narrowed to a wide, rounded apex, those of sterile shoots often narrower and setaceous; hypostomous; sheaths pink (rarely red-) brown, persistent, the lower ones with very short subulate green tips, with inner face hyaline; apex straight; ligule c. 0.5 mm, rounded, tubular. Inflorescence a single, few-flowered, terminal spike 3–8 mm, male above, female below; bracts absent. Male glumes 3.5–5 mm, lanceolate, pale red-brown, with hyaline margins; apex ± acute. Female glumes 3.5–4.5 mm, broadly lanceolate, clasping the utricle, caducous, pale red-brown, with margins hyaline towards the ± acute apex. Utricles 5–7 mm, subfusiform, tapered more abruptly below, faintly nerved, pale yellow- or rarely red brown, tapered above to a beak-like apex; stigmas 3; style persistent in fruit, protruding from apex of utricle; nut oblong-cylindric, trigonous.
