    Plants perennial, when submerged sometimes with spikelets proliferating.
    Rhizomes present, creeping, sometimes with apical tubers.
    Culms 16–115 cm × 0.5–8.5 mm, spongy with transverse septa incomplete or often hollow with complete transverse septa.
    Spikelets cylindric to narrowly ellipsoid, terete, often as wide as their culms, (6–) 9–75 mm;
    proximal scale empty or rarely subtending a flower;
    floral scales ca. 4–220 per spikelet, spiraled, 3–8 mm, with 15 or more prominent to obscure, close, longitudinal veins, papery to cartilaginous.
    Styles 3-fid, or 3-fid and 2-fid.
    Achenes biconvex, sometimes compressed trigonous, sometimes distally constricted into a distinct, thick neck, 1.4–3 mm, markedly (to obscurely) sculptured, each face usually with 10–40 longitudinal rows of enlarged cells, sometimes nearly smooth.
    Tubercles distinct from achenes in color, texture and form, or sometimes merging with achene apex, often dorsoventrally greatly compressed.
