Inflorescences: spikes 1–4 per ray, loosely ovoid to broadly ellipsoid, 12–20 × 8–12 mm; rays 6–9, 3–10(–12) cm; 2d order rays 1–4, 1–2 cm; rachis 4–12 mm; bracts 5–10, horizontal to ascending at 30°, 15–40 cm × 4–8(–11) mm; rachilla deciduous, wings persistent, hyaline, fragile, 0.3 mm wide, covering less than 1/2 of achene. Spikelets 40–80, narrowly ellipsoid to ellipsoid, roughly quadrangular to weakly flattened, 5–8 × 1.2–1.5 mm; distal spikelet spreading or ascending; floral scales (1–)2(–3), ascending, brick red, medially greenish, laterally 3–4-ribbed, medially 1–3-ribbed, green, ovate, 2.2–3.5 × 1.5–1.8 mm, apex subacute.
