Comparison Carex miyabei var. miyabei has male spikes usually without 1-3 female flowers; upper female spikes nearly sessile; female glumes oblong-ovate, without mucro or muticous at apex; and utricles hispidulous. [details]Description 根状茎具长匍匐茎，粗壮，径约1—2.5毫米。秆高45—60厘米，略锐三棱形，上部粗糙，常具叶，中部以下覆有叶鞘，基部鞘无叶片，淡红褐色，腹面或边缘稍成网状细裂。叶长于秆，平坦，宽3—5毫米，稍薄而质硬，上面及边缘粗糙。小穗5—6，顶部1—2枚为雄性，稍隔离，线形，长1—3厘米，宽约2毫米，雄小穗基部常有1—3枚雌花；其余的小穗为雌性，圆柱形，长2—6厘米，宽4—5毫米，花多而密生，向基部渐疏生，最上的1枚雌小穗其顶部有时有少数雄花，上部的小穗常有短梗，下部的有短梗或较长的梗，梗丝状，稍粗糙，直立；苞片下部的叶状，常超出花序，无鞘，但基部有膜质耳状片包于秆，或有时最下的苞片具短鞘；雌花鳞片披针形，长3.5—5毫米，淡褐色，两侧暗红褐色，具3脉，边缘狭白色，顶端渐尖，微粗糙；雄花鳞片淡褐色，先端钝圆；果胞斜伸展，卵状三棱形，长约4毫米，膜质，黄褐色，脉少数，被白色短柔毛，尤以上部较显著，基部楔形，上部具中等长的细柱状喙，稍外弯，口部2裂，齿稍粗糙；小坚果为果胞所紧包，卵状三棱形，长约1.8毫米，顶部具略弯的短喙，花基部稍增厚，柱头3。 [details]
Diagnosis 与原变种的区别在于，顶部1—2枚小穗为雄性，其基部常有1—3枚雌花，上部的雌小穗通常具短梗；雌花鳞片披针形，较果胞为短或较长；果胞被白色短柔毛，尤以上部较明显。 [details]
Diagnosis A type differt spiculis superioribus 1—2 ♂ paullo remotis basi saepe 1—3 floribus femineis, ♀ superioribus saepe breviter pedunculatis; squamis ♀ lanceolatis utriculo brevioribus vel longioribus; uticulis albo pubescentibus imprimis superioribus.
[The difference from the original variety lies in the top 1–2 spikelets being male, often bearing 1–3 female flowers at their base, while the upper female spikelets typically possess short pedicels. The female flower scales are lanceolate, shorter than or longer than the utricle; the utricle is covered with white pubescence, particularly noticeable in the upper part.] [details]
Distribution Carex miyabei var. miyabei occurs in Japan and Korea. Carex miyabei var. maopengensis occurs in the province of Anhui in China. [details]
Translation Plants with long, robust rhizomes, ca. 1–2.5 mm in diameter. Culms 45–60 cm tall, slightly subtrigonal, upper part scabrous, often leafy, below middle covered with leaf sheaths; basal sheaths without blades, pale reddish brown, slightly reticulate-fissured on ventral surface or margin. Leaves longer than culms, flat, 3–5 mm wide, somewhat thin yet rigid, rough above and along margins. Spikelets 5–6, with upper 1–2 male spikelets slightly separated, linear, 1–3 cm long, ca. 2 mm wide; male spikelets often bearing 1–3 female flowers at base. The remaining spikelets are female, cylindrical, 2–6 cm long, 4–5 mm wide, densely and profusely flowered, flowers becoming sparser toward the base; the uppermost female spikelet sometimes bears a few male flowers at its apex. Upper spikelets often have short pedicels, while lower ones have short or longer pedicels; pedicels filiform, slightly rough, erect. Lower bracts foliaceous, often exceeding the inflorescence, without sheaths, but with a membranous auricle at the base enveloping the culm, or occasionally the lowest bract with a short sheath; female flower scales lanceolate, 3.5–5 mm long, pale brown, dark reddish-brown on both sides, with 3 veins, margin narrowly white, apex acuminate, slightly rough; male flower scales pale brown, apex obtuse-rounded; Utricle obliquely spreading, ovoid-trigonous, ca. 4 mm long, membranous, yellowish-brown, with few veins, covered with white pubescence, especially conspicuous distally, base cuneate, upper part with a medium-length slender columnar beak ending in two slightly scabrous teeth slightly curved outward; Nuts closely enclosed by utricle, ovoid-trigonal, ca. 1.8 mm long, apex with slightly curved short beak, base slightly thickened, stigma 3.
