Description Hierba perenne, densamente cespitosa. Tallos (4)5,5-32(50) cm 0,5- 1,1(1,5) mm, cilíndricos, finamente estriados, verdes, ± brillantes. Vaina superior prolongada en un mucrón de 1,6-5,1(7) mm, con la embocadura membranosa, oblicuamente truncada, en forma de bisel de (0,6)0,7-3(3,7) mm de altura, membranácea; vainas basales escamosas, empizarradas, de color pardo, brillantes o mates. Espiguilla 2,3-6,5(10) mm, ovoide, compuesta por 3-12(20) flores; bracteas glumiformes de 2,5-6,2 mm, ovadas, prolongadas en un mucrón ligeramente calloso-engrosado hacia el ápice, pardo-rojizas, con 1-5 nervios, de longitud menor, igual o mayor que la de la espiguilla, a la que generalmente abrazan. Glumas similares a las bracteas, pero menores y sin mucrón. Aquenios 1,5-2 mm, de contorno obovado u oval, trígonos, lisos, parduscos, ± brillantes; cerdas periánticas (4)5(6), escábridas, por lo común de menor longitud que las glumas, lisas, ± parduscas. 2n = 104*.

Description Rhizomes short, forming small ± open tufts. Stems 5–25 cm 0.5–0.8 mm, ± terete, smooth, but with distinct ridges; substomatal pits conspicuous in transverse section of stem, 20–26 µm deep; aerenchyma tissue between vascular bundles absent. Leaves as in 5 T. germanicum, but upper leaf-sheath fitting tightly round stem, with a ± transverse and circular opening typically c. 1 mm in diameter. Inflorescence smaller and more compact than in T. germanicum, with fewer (3–5) flowers; sometimes up to 20% of the population proliferating (in Northumberland: see Swan 1999); involucral bracts 2, 4–5(–7) mm long, glume-like, brown to orange-brown, with midrib pale yellow-green with an obtuse, green apical projection. Glumes similar in size and texture to those of T. germanicum but sometimes paler brown with the central nerve dominant and the marginal ones indistinct; apex subobtuse, attenuated into a subulate tip. Flowers and nuts as in T. germanicum. [details]

Translation Perennial herb, densely tufted. Stems (4)5.5-32(50) cm 0.5- 1.1(1.5) mm, cylindrical, finely striated, green, ± shiny. Upper sheath extended into a mucron 1.6-5.1(7) mm, with the membranous mouth, obliquely truncated, bevel-shaped (0.6)0.7-3(3.7) mm high, membranous; basal sheaths scaly, slaty, brown, shiny or matt. Spikelet 2.3-6.5(10) mm, ovoid, composed of 3-12(20) flowers; Glumiform bracts 2.5-6.2 mm, ovate, prolonged into a mucron that is slightly calloused-thickened towards the apex, reddish-brown, with 1-5 nerves, shorter, equal to or longer than the spikelet, which they generally embrace. Glumes similar to the bracts, but smaller and without mucron. Achenes 1.5-2 mm, obovate or oval in outline, trigonous, smooth, brownish, ± shiny; perianth bristles (4)5(6), scabrid, usually shorter than the glumes, smooth, ± brownish. 2n = 104*. [details]
