Inflorescences: spikes (3–)4(–5) per culm, scattered; peduncles of pistillate spikes exserted 0–9 cm; of staminate spikes exserted 0–9.5 cm; bracts 2–11.8 cm × 1.3–4.8 mm. Pistillate spikes: the proximal basal, scattered, drooping. Staminate spike 1, linear, 8–22 × 1.2–3 mm. Pistillate scales keeled, 2.5–3.2 × 1–1.5 mm, midribs green, margins hyaline or, occasionally, reddish brown outward, apex cuspidate to acute, awn to 1 mm, proximal scale of lateral spike sterile or subtending a staminate flower. Staminate scales obovate, 3.5–4.5 × 1–1.2 mm, midribs green, margins hyaline or reddish brown outward, apex acute. Anthers 2–3 mm. Perigynia 4–9 per spike, finely veined, elliptic-ovoid, 2.5–4 × 1.5–2 mm; beak slightly bent, tapering.
