HERBA usque ad 150 cm alta ramosissima. FOLIA anguste linearia vel fere filiformis, viridia vel olivacea, (45)-100-150-(220) mm longa et (0.2)-0.4-0.5-(0.7) mm lata, (1.2)-1.5-(2.0) plolatiora quam crassiora, apice plerumque bidentata sed nonnumquam paene truncata, saepe prope apicem minute denticulata, uninervata; vagina biaurita, (10)—15—25— (40) mm longa. PEDUNCULI usque ad 30 cm longi, saepe rubri infra inferiorem florem vix tumidi, post anthesin in multas (6-30) spiras torti. FLORES proterandri; thecae oblongae; pistilli 4 (raro 5-6 in florem superiorem). FRUCTUS gibbus 4-4.5-(5) mm longus, olivaceus raro rubri-punctatus; mesocarpium crassum; endocarpium atrum hebetatum tuberculatum crassum duabus aperturis triangularibus praeditum, rostro circ. 1.3 mm longo productum; podogynium validum basin gradatim decrescens. Chromosome Number: 2n = 20.
HERBA usque ad 40 cm alta plerumque rhizomatibus congestis, caulibus brevissimis et foliis gramineis longissimis tenuibus; aliter rhizomata minus congesta, caules usque ad 40 cm longi paene ramosi. FOLIA atroviridia fere filiformia, 50-300 cm longa et circ. 0.3-0.4 mm lata, (1)-1.2-(1.6) plo latiora quam crassiora, obtusa prope apicem saepe minute denticulata, uninervata; vagina angustata biaurita, (9)-25-35-(48) mm longa. PEDUNCULI usque ad 50 cm longi, raro rubri, plerumque infra inferiorem florem conspicue tumidi, post anthesin in multas (6-55) spiras torti. FLORES proterandri; thecae oblongae; pistilli multi, 2-16, plerumque 8. FRUCTUS asymmetricus, (1.7)—2— (2.7) mm longi, brunneus; mesocarpium tenue; endocarpium laeve atrum aliquantum tenue, duabus rimis longitudinalibus praeditum, rostro breve 0.2-0.3 mm longo productum; podogynia gracilia. Chromosome Number: n = 9.
