Plants usually cespitose, short to long rhizomatous, sometimes inconspicuously rhizomatous. Culms red-brown at base. Leaves: basal sheaths fibrous or not, persistent sheaths usually absent; sheath fronts membranous, puberulent; blades V-shaped in cross section when young, glabrous or puberulent. Inflorescence usually 1 spike, rarely short second spike; bractless or bract filiform, sheathless, prophyllate; spikes unisexual, mostly staminate and pistillate spikes on different plants. Proximal pistillate scales with apex obtuse to acute, ciliate. Perigynia erect, veinless or obscurely veined, with 2 prominent marginal veins, stipitate, lanceolate to ovate or obovate, rounded-trigonous in cross section, less than 10 mm, base tapering or rounded, apex tapering or rounded to beak, pubescent; beak 0.1–0.5 mm, emarginate or shortly bidentate, teeth less than 0.8 mm. Stigmas (2–)3(–4). Achenes usually trigonous, smaller than bodies of perigynia; style deciduous. x = 29, 31.
Distribution
