Description Tufted perennial with very short rhizome. Culms trigonous, scabrous above, slightly swollen at base, 15–65 cm high, 1–3 mm diam. Leaves not septate-nodulose, shorter or a little longer than culms, 1–2 mm wide. Inflorescence compound or decompound with 3–5 primary branches to 4 cm long; digitate clusters to c. 10 mm diam.; involucral bracts leaf-like, 1–3 much exceeding inflorescence. Spikelets flattened, 1–6 per cluster, 4–10 mm long, 1.5–2.5 mm wide in side view, 12–32-flowered; rachilla not winged, persistent. Glumes obtuse or almost acute, with sides nerveless, c. 1.5 mm long, dark red-brown to blackish. Stamens 3. Style 3-fid.
