--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Herbs </b>perennial, cespitose, to 1 m; rhizomes scaly; offshoots cormose. <b>Culms</b> erect to leaning, smooth except in inflorescence. <b>Leaves</b>: all sheaths hispid-hirsute, sometimes also hirtellous; principal blades linear, 8–20 cm, abaxially puberulent, hispid-hirsute, adaxially hispid-hirsute-ciliate, scabridulous. <b>Inflorescences</b> in clusters of terminal spikelets or from 1–3 penultimate nodes, proximalmost involucral bract longest, exceeding inflorescence, distal 1–2 bracts shorter. <b>Spikelets</b> ovoid to cylindric-lanceoloid, 1–2 cm, apex acute; fertile scales 2.5–3.5 mm; cusp excurved, more than 1/2 length of scale, scabrid; ribs 3–5(–7). <b>Flowers</b>: perianth bristles reaching base of perianth blades or beyond, retrorsely barbellate; perianth blades narrowly to broadly ovate, uniformly compressed or distally tumid, 1 mm, base 3-ribbed, apex incurved, acuminate; anthers 3, 1 mm. <b>Achenes</b>: stipe shorter than perianth stipe; body angles wirelike, pale, faces deep brown to chestnut brown, faintly cross-lined, 1 mm. <b>2n</b> = 46.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Fuirena squarrosa</i> is most similar to <i>F. pumila</i> in perianth except it is perennial; to <i>F. breviseta</i> except its distal sheaths are hirsute, not glabrous; and to <i>F. bushii</i> except its perianth blade is flatter and the anthers shorter.</p><!--
--><p>Plants of the Gulf and Atlantic coastal plains and inland to adjacent provinces east of the Mississippi River usually have closely set cormose rhizome buds.</p>
