Culms loosely cespitose, light green, 15–25 cm. Leaves: sheaths dull brown-gray at base, becoming green distally, throats hairless; basal leaves flat toward base, channeled toward apex, 4–16 cm × 3–8 mm, apex abruptly pointed, callous, glabrous. Inflorescences asymmetric in appearance; glomerules (1–)2–5, central glomerules sessile or nearly sessile, 3–9 × 2.5–6 mm; capillary branches 2–8, arched in 1 direction, to 3.5 cm; proximal inflorescence bract bladeless. Flowers: tepals brownish translucent (apex lacerate to entire), 2–3 mm, apex lacerate to entire; anthers equal to or exceeding filaments. Capsules light chestnut brown, broadly 3-angled, shorter than tepals. Seeds: most failing to mature, brown (with few hairs present), 3-angled, 0.9–1.1 mm, few hairs present; caruncle barely visible. 2n = 36.

B.C., N.W.T., Yukon, Alaska, ne Asia.
