Description Densamente cespitosa, a veces con rizomas de entrenudos ± largos. Tallos (3,5)10-25(40) cm, trígonos, lisos o escábridos hacia el ápice. Hojas (1)1,5-3,5(3,8) mm de anchura, de menor longitud que los tallos, ásperas en los bordes en casi toda su longitud, planas o un poco canaliculadas, algo rígidas; lígula 0,5-2 mm, de ápice obtuso o redondeado; sin antelígula; vainas basales con limbo desarrollado, de algo ratas a fibrosas, de color pardo. Bráctea inferior setácea, rara vez folíácea, de longitud menor o excepcionalmente algo mayor que la inflorescencia, no envainante. Espiga masculina solitaria, de 4-10(18) mm, cilíndrica o fusiforme; espigas femeninas 2-3(5), de 3-8 mm, raramente alguna andrógina y/o ramificada en la base, erectas, ovoides, densifloras, generalmente aproximadas junto a la masculina, a veces la inferior algo separada, sésiles. Glumas masculinas obovadas u oblongas, de ápice agudo u obtuso, de color pardo-púrpura o pardo-rojizo oscuro, sin margen escarioso; glumas femeninas anchaemente ovadas, de ápice agudo o cortamente aristado, de color pardo-púrpura o pardo-rojizo oscuro, sin margen escarioso, de longitud menor o igual que los utrículos. Estigmas 3. Utrículos (1,8)2,3-3 × 1-1,3 mm, suberectos o erecto-patentes, de contorno generalmente obovado, inflado-trígonos, con los nervios poco perceptibles, densamente pubescentes, verdosos o parduscos, estipitados, gradualmente atenuados o bruscamente estrechados en un pico de 0,3-0,7 mm, de ápice bidentado o truncado. Aquenios (1)1,2-1,5 × 0,9-1,2 mm, de contorno obovado, inflado-trígonos, de color pardo oscuro. 2n = 18. [details]

Translation Densely caespitose, sometimes with rhizomes with ± long internodes. Stems (3.5)10–25(40) cm, trigonous, smooth or scabrous towards the apex. Leaves (1)1.5–3.5(3.8) mm wide, shorter than the stems, rough along the margins for almost their entire length, flat or slightly channelled, somewhat rigid; ligule 0.5–2 mm, with an obtuse or rounded apex; without an anteligule; basal sheaths with a developed blade, somewhat torn to fibrous, brown in colour. Lower bract setaceous, rarely foliaceous, shorter than or exceptionally slightly longer than the inflorescence, not sheathing. Male spike solitary, 4–10(18) mm long, cylindrical or fusiform; female spikes 2–3(5), 3–8 mm long, rarely with some androgynous and/or basally branched, erect, ovoid, densely flowered, generally clustered close to the male spike, sometimes the lowest slightly separated, sessile. Male glumes obovate or oblong, with an acute or obtuse apex, dark purplish-brown to dark reddish-brown, without a scarious margin; female glumes broadly ovate, with an acute or shortly aristate apex, dark purplish-brown to dark reddish-brown, without a scarious margin, shorter than or equal to the utricles. Stigmas 3. Utricles (1.8)2.3–3 × 1–1.3 mm, suberect to erect-patent, generally obovate in outline, inflated-trigonous, with nerves scarcely visible, densely pubescent, greenish to brownish, stipitate, gradually attenuate or abruptly narrowed into a beak 0.3–0.7 mm long, with a bidentate or truncate apex. Achenes (1)1.2–1.5 × 0.9–1.2 mm, obovate in outline, inflated-trigonous, dark brown. 2n = 18. [details]
