    Leaves: basal sheaths brown or light-brown;
    sheaths 1–48 mm;
    blades erect, ascending or lax, green, midrib well developed abaxially, lateral-veins developed adaxially, flat, 14–36 cm × 1–10 mm, blades of overwintering leaves smooth abaxially.
    Inflorescences: peduncles of proximal absent;
    of terminal spike 0–1.7 cm.
    Bracts 0.9–17 cm × 1–8 mm, bract blade of distal lateral spikes linear, narrower than spikes, not concealing them (viewed from abaxial surface), widest bract blade of distalmost lateral spike 0.5–3.4 mm wide.
