Description Rhizome densely caespitose, with very short internodes, moderately stout, dark-brown. Flowering culms (10)40–70(90) cm long, more or less acutely trigonous, smooth to slightly scabrous, leafy up to 1/10 (¼) of its length, (0.6)0.8–1.1(1.3) mm wide at the middle. Leaves (0.9)2–5(7) mm wide, shorter, more rarely equaling, than the inflorescence, soft to very slightly rigid, straight to scarcely curved at the apex, glaucous, flat, more rarely, scarcely canaliculate, carinate or plicate in cross-section, scabrous along the margins and the abaxial midrib to the apex, mainly in the upper half; adaxial surface smooth or somewhat aculeate; ligule (0.9)1.5–2.5(3.4) mm long. Basal sheaths with lamina, more rarely lowermost bladeless, moderately to densely fibrous. Lowest bract of the inflorescence leaf-like, shorter, rarely longer, than the inflorescence, with a sheath (7)15–30(44) mm long. Inflorescence up to the upper 85% of the length of the culm, branching up to 2(3) times; partial inflorescences (6)7–10(12), all distant and pedunculate, except the 2(3) uppermost, that are subsessile and overlapping; peduncles included in the sheaths or slightly protruding from it. Glumiform perigynia and glumiform cladoprophylls absent. Tubular cladoprophylls always present. Utriculiform cladoprophylls rarely present. Male glumes (1.7)2–3.5(3.9) × (0.6)1.5–2 mm, widely ovate to oblong, straw-coloured to yellowish-brown, with a green central band, acute to ending in an aculeate mucro up to 0.3(2) mm long. Female glumes (1.8)2–3.5(3.7) × (1)1.5–1.9(2.1) mm, ovate, straw-coloured to, more frequently, pale reddish brown, with a green central band, acute to ending in an aculeate mucro up to 3 mm long. Unisexual utricles (3.1)3.8–5.5(6) × (1)1.1–1.5(1.9) mm, widely ovoid to ellipsoid, long-stipitate, straight, more rarely slightly curved, straw-coloured to brownish when mature, smooth, with conspicuous prominent veins over the entire surface, suberect to erecto-patent, very abruptly contracted into a smooth, bidentate to irregularly truncate beak (0.7)1.3–2(2.3) mm long; rachilla reaching the apex of the utricle or, more frequently, protruding from it up to 0.5(1) mm. Bisexual utricles very rare, although occasionally predominant in some individuals, widely and obliquely truncate at the apex. Achenes (2.1)2.3–2.7(3) × (1.2)1.3–1.5(1.6) mm, ellipsoid-trigonous, more or less straw-coloured to brown when mature, tipped by a short, obtusely trigonous, distinctly neck-like, rarely asymmetric, persistent style base.
