Description Rhizome loosely caespitose to caespitose, with short internodes, scarcely to moderately stout, dark-brown. Flowering culms (29)40–80(93) cm long, acutely trigonous, more or less scabrid to the apex, leafy from the lower one-third to two-thirds of its length, (1)1.3–2.3(3) mm wide at the middle. Leaves (1.5)2.5–4.5(5.5) mm wide, shorter than the inflorescence, coriaceous, light green to somewhat glaucous, flat to, more rarely, carinate in cross-section, strongly scabrous along the edges and usually also along the abaxial midrib; adaxial surface papillose on the veins, especially in the upper half; tip usually very curled, ligule 0.5–4(7) mm long. Basal sheaths entire, with lamina. Lowest bract leaf-like, shorter than, rarely equaling, the inflorescence, with a sheath (19)30–60(80) mm long. Inflorescence branching up to 4 times; partial inflorescences (3)7–10(13), uppermost overlapping, sessile, lowermost distant, with scabrid peduncles up to 11 cm long, suberect. Glumiform perigynia and glumiform cladoprophylls absent. Tubular cladoprophylls present at the base of some peduncles, hyaline-brownish. Utriculiform cladoprophylls always present, usually numerous. Male glumes 3–4.5(5.1) × 1.3–2.2(2.5) mm, ovate to obovate, yellowish-brown with a green central band and, frequently, with a wide hyaline margins, acute or ending in an aculeate mucro or arista up to 0.8 mm long. Female glumes (3)3.2–4(4.1) × 1.6–2.3(2.6) mm, ovate, obovate or elliptic, with scarious margin, yellowish-brown to light-brown with a green central band, acute or with an mucro or ariste up to 1.5(2) mm long. Unisexual utricles (3.3)4.1–4.5(5) × (0.9)1.1–1.3 mm, narrowly ellipsoid or, more rarely, narrowly suboblong, stipitate, straight, green to yellowish-brown when mature, more or less hispid in the upper half, rarely subglabrous, with numerous prominent veins across the entire surface, suberect, gradually attenuate into a bidentate, obliquely truncate or irregularly lacerate beak up to 1 mm long; rachilla reaching the apex of the utricle or, more rarely, protruding from the mouth up to 0.5 mm, sometimes bearing some small, sterile glumes at the tip. Bisexual utricles ending in a beak wide and obliquely truncate. Achenes (2.3)2.5–3.1 × 0.8–1 mm, narrowly ellipsoid-trigonous to oblong-trigonous, yellowish-brown when mature, tipped by a very short and wide, obtusely trigonous, persistent, style base. [details]
