    Plants with short-creeping rhizomes, loosely cespitose, forming colonies.
    Culms brown at base, densely covered with brown fibrillose remains of previous year’s leaves;
    flowering-stems 30–90 cm, longer than leaves at maturity, 0.5–0.7 mm thick, glabrous but finely scabrous within inflorescence.
    Leaves: sheaths glabrous, basal ones tinged with brown and all bearing blades, green to hyaline on back, white-hyaline on front;
    blades flat, 2.5–4 mm wide, finely scabrous on adaxial surface and margins, glabrous on abaxial surface.
    Inflorescences: peduncles of lateral spikes slender, 20–60 mm, equaling or somewhat longer than spikes, finely scabrous;
    peduncle of terminal spike 5–15 mm, scabrous;
    proximal bracts equaling inflorescences or more often shorter;
    sheaths 3–5 mm or rarely longer;
    blades 1–1.5 mm wide.
    Lateral spikes 4–5, 1 per node;
    proximal spikes well separated, nodding or drooping at maturity, pistillate with 10–40 perigynia about 1 mm apart, cylindric, 10–35 × 8–10 mm;
    distal spikes crowded near apex, sessile or nearly so, staminate or androgynous, linear, less than 20 mm.
    Terminal spike staminate or rarely with a few perigynia at base, 10–20 × 1.5–2 mm.
    Pistillate scales pale hyaline tinged with chestnut, narrow midrib green, sometimes finely scabrous, ovateoblong, shorter than mature perigynia, apex long-acuminate, glabrous.
    Perigynia shiny tan to golden green, 2-ribbed, but otherwise veinless, closely enveloping achene at maturity, ovoid-ellipsoid, 4.5–6.5 × 1.5–2 mm, membranous, base acute, apex abruptly contracted to beak, glabrous;
    beak bidentate, narrowly tubular, nearly as long as body, finely scabrous on edge, teeth hyaline, 1 mm.
    Achenes substipitate, 2–2.5 × 1.7–1.8 mm. 2n = 42.
