Scapes erect, flexuous, 15-30 cm tall, verrucose with small raised pits, freely and very laxly branched above, terminating in la x spikes of 2-12 spikelets; bracts ovate-lanceolate, aristate with membranous margin. Spikelets 2-4-flowered, rarely with a 5th bud; bract 3-4 mm long, obtuse with a broad membranous margin enveloping the base of young spikelets but flowers often protruding laterally when 3-4 present; flowers shortly pedicellate. Calyx 4-6 mm long, pilose at the base and sometimes along the ribs to about the middle, obconic below, expanded above and spreading into 5 aristate or mucronate lobes and 5 short obtuse intermediate ones. Petals white, about 8 mm long, narrowly oblanceolate, obtuse or emarginate. Stamens with filaments slender from a dilated base; anthers oblong, divided to halfway from base. Ovary obovoid, 5-angled above, prolonged into a truncate beak with 5 filiform styles; fruit circumscissile below apex on maturity.
