Tufted. Stems rather rigid, 6-30- (50) cm high. Leaves 1- (3) or reduced to red-brown basal sheaths. Inflorescence a cluster of (1) -3-6- (10) spikelets, often proliferous. Glumes obtuse, flattened towards tip. Stamen 1. Style-branches 3. Nut distinctly trigonous, usually white.
Culms 6–30–(50) cm. × (0.4)–0.7–1.2–(1.8) mm., tufted, ∞, erect, often rather rigid, terete, bright green. Lvs 1, or rarely 2–3 at the base of the culm, < 1 mm. wide; frequently reduced to a single, mucronate, red basal bract, mucro us. short. Infl. an apparently lateral, solitary head of (1)–3–6–(10) crowded spikelets, often proliferous with 1–3 slender branchlets each terminated by a smaller head of spikelets, subtending bract us. slightly > spikelets. Spikelets (2)–3–4–(5) × 1.5–2.5–(3) mm., ovate or oblong-ovate, often dark red-purple.
