Comparison C. ripariae Curt. persimilis; differt vero caule minus crasso, foliis angustioribus, spiculis angustioribus, spiculis femineis subrarifloris, squamis longioribus demum saepe squarrosis. C. riparia Curt. var. gracilescens Hartm. in Anders. Cyperac. Scand., p. 16, fig. 100b (conf. etiam Aschers. u. Graebn. Synops. II. 2, p. 216) perigyniis paulo angustioribus vix a nostra differt? [C. ripariae Curt. is very similar; it differs in its thinner stem, narrower leaves, narrower spikes, female spikes with fewer flowers, and longer scales that are often square at the base. C. riparia Curt. var. gracilescens Hartm. in Anders. Cyperac. Scand., p. 16, fig. 100b (see also Aschers. u. Graebn. Synops. II. 2, p. 216), with slightly narrower perigynia, differs little from ours.] [details]

Morphology Cum forma normali inter Czarwak et Arslanbob occurrunt: Lusus longepedunculata: spiculis femineis longius pedunculatis, infima pedunculo 18 cm. longo suffulta, et
Lusus rhyzogyna: vagina folii infimi spiculam longissime pedunculatam femineam compositam gerens; spicula extrema normalis, laterales pauciflores distantes.
[Between Czarwak and Arslanbob, we find the normal form. Lusus longepedunculata: with female spikelets on longer peduncles, the lowest being supported by an 18 cm long peduncle, and
Lusus rhyzogyna: the lower leaf sheath bears a female compound spikelet with a very long peduncle; the outer spikelets are normal, the lateral ones have few flowers and are distant.] [details]

Translation Rhizomateux mais paraissant cespiteux ; chaumes atteignant 1 m de haut, robustes, triangulaires à angles aigus, lisses à la base, devenant scabres aux angles dans la partie distale du chaume et dans l'axe de l'inflorescence entre les épis, spongieux à la base, densément foliacés ; feuilles plates, scabres, atteignant 1 cm de large, à base engainant la tige, dépassées par les tiges fertiles ; bractées foliacées, à limbe large, les plus basses dépassant le chaume, courtement engainantes, ligules brun mat. Inflorescence interrompue et allongée, épillets 5-6 (8), les 3 (4) terminaux mâles, approximativement sessiles, dressés, les autres femelles (parfois mâles à l’apex), cylindriques, atteignant 7 cm de long et 0,5 cm de large, espacés, à pédoncule court, sauf le plus bas à pédoncule plus long. Épillets femelles à fleurs assez peu nombreuses, écailles femelles trinervées et scarieuses, à marge pâle et presque translucide, scabres sur la face supérieure, corps oval ou oblong, à pointe un peu abruptement acuminées, les inférieures (dans les épis) souvent plus longues et avec la base carrée et abruptement prolongée en une pointe acuminée, mesurant au maximum 8 mm de long ; périgynes ovals-cunéiformes, rigides, largement étalés, à nervures peu visibles, pâles, devenant sombres à maturité, graduellement rétrécis en un bec de 4,5 mm terminé par deux dents légèrement divergentes. Styles : 3. [details]
Translation Rhizomatous but appearing tufted; culms up to 1 m tall, robust, triangular with acute angles, smooth at the base, becoming scabrous at the angles in the distal part of the culm and in the axis of the inflorescence between the spikes, spongy at the base, densely leafy; leaves flat, scabrous, reaching 1 cm wide, with base sheathing the stem, surpassed by fertile stems; leafy bracts with broad blade, the lowest surpassing the culm, short sheathing at the base, ligules dull brown. Inflorescence interrupted and elongated, spikelets 5-6 (8), the 3 (4) terminal ones male, erect, grouped together and sessile, the other spikes female (sometimes with male flowers at the apex), cylindrical, reaching 7 cm long and 0.5 cm wide, spaced apart, with short peduncles, except for the lowest one with a longer peduncle. Female spikes with relatively few flowers, female scales trinerved and scarious, with pale, almost translucent margins, scabrous on the upper surface, body oval or oblong, with slightly abruptly acuminate tips, the lower ones (in the spikes) often longer and with a square base abruptly prolonged into an acuminate tip, measuring a maximum of 8 mm long; perigynia oval-cuneiform, rigid, widely spreading, with faint veins, pale, becoming dark when mature, gradually narrowing into a 4.5 mm beak ending in two slightly divergent teeth.
