Herbs. Stems erect, green or purplish brown, branched from base, not wiry, 4–30 cm, glabrous or minutely papillose-scabridulous. Leaves uniformly distributed, articulated to ocreae, basal leaves persistent, distal leaves abruptly reduced to bracts; ocrea 3–5 mm, papillose-scabridulous or glabrous, proximal part funnelform, distal part becoming lacerate with age; petiole 0.1–2 mm; blade 1-veined, not pleated, linear-oblanceolate, 10–20(–25) × 1–3(–4) mm, margins revolute, smooth, apex acute to mucronate. Inflorescences axillary and terminal, spikelike, loosely floriferous nearly to base, elongate; cymes spaced along branches, (1–)2–4-flowered. Pedicels exserted from ocreae, reflexed, 1–3 mm. Flowers closed; perianth 1.5–2(–2.5) mm; tube 18–26% of perianth length; tepals initially overlapping and cucullate, later forced apart by developing achene, greenish or sometimes purple, with white margins, petaloid or sepaloid, oblong, ± flat or navicular, apex rounded; midveins unbranched; stamens 5–8. Achenes exserted from perianth, black, elliptic, 1.2–2.3 mm, faces subequal, shiny, smooth.
