Inflorescences 2–6(–8) cm; proximal internode 10–40 mm; peduncle of proximal spikes exserted to 4 cm; proximal bracts with blade 5–22 mm, sheath cylindric, 5–28 mm, mouth usually tinged with dark purple, 0.9–1.4 mm wide Spikes 2–5; lateral spikes usually pistillate, inclined or pendent, 8–19 × 4–7 mm; terminal spike staminate or gynecandrous, erect or inclined, 6–15 × 2–5 mm. Pistillate scales black with pale midvein, ovate or oblong-ovate, 3–4.8 × 0.9–1.6 mm, margins narrow and scarious, apex acute to obtuse, papillose at least on midvein.
