--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>perennial, solitary or cespitose, 60–100 cm; rhizomes sometimes present, stoloniferous. <b>Culms</b> lax, leafy, mostly excurved, slender. <b>Leaves</b> shorter than culm; blades ascending, narrowly linear, proximally flat, 2–4(–5) mm wide, apex trigonous, short-subulate, tapering. <b>Inflorescences</b>: spikelet clusters 3–7(–10), dense, all but most distal widely spaced, broadly turbinate to ovate or hemispheric. <b>Spikelets</b> light red-brown, lanciform, 5 mm, apex acuminate; fertile scales lanceolate, 4–4.5 mm, apex acuminate, midrib excurrent as awn. <b>Flowers</b>: bristles 6, reaching past tubercle base, usually to or slightly past its tip, antrorsely barbellate. <b>Fruits</b> 2(–4) per spikelet; stipe and receptacle curled-setose, (0.5–)0.6–08(–1) mm; body glossy, brown with pale center, narrowly obovoid-lenticular, 1.2–1.5 mm, surfaces minutely striate, sometimes transversely minutely rugulose with wavy rows of dark minute dots; margins narrow, strong, flowing to tubercle; tubercle narrowly triangular, slightly concave-sided, flattened, setulose-ciliate, 0.7–1.1 mm.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>Clumps of <i>Rhynchospora crinipes</i> are often toppled by floodwaters, these clumps then can root from lower nodes. When clusters of spikelets have ripened fruit, these will germinate while still attached to the parent culm.</p>
