Scales brown, obovate-circular, 3.5–5.5 mm, midvein distinct only near base, margins hyaline, apex obtuse. Anthers 2–3 mm. Perigynia brown, finely veined, 3.5–5.5 mm, margins connate near base. Achenes 2.6–4 mm.

Discussion
Kobresia sibirica, a local and variable species, is not yet fully understood. Some authors consider K. hyperborea and K. macrocarpa to be distinct endemic North American species; other authors include those and K. sibirica in the southwest Asian species K. schoenoides (C. A. Meyer) Steudel. In the Asian plants, the androgynous spikelets are reported as having 3 staminate flowers and no sterile scales.

None.
