Leaves rigid, rugose, pubescent, green, 12–35 mm long, 3–6 mm wide, spathulate to linear-spathulate, revolute at the margin, 1-nerved, gradually tapering into a long petiole, retuse at the apex. Stems numerous, erect, rugose, with numerous sterile branches, flexuous, fragile at nodes, very branched, diverging at the angle of 40–70(–110)°, internodes 5–15 mm long, right to curved. Inflorescence lax, pyramidate, branched; spikes 5–30 mm long, straight to curved. Spikelets 5–6 mm long, 1–4-flowered, 3–7 per cm; outer bract 1.3–1.8 mm long, 1.3–1.7 mm wide, ovate, obtuse, with margin narrowly membranous, glabrous, and central part fleshy, acuminate, hairy; middle bract 1.7–2.1 mm long, 1–1.3 mm wide, oblong, shortly bifid at the apex, membranous, densely hairy on the veins; inner bract 3–3.9 mm long, 2–2.3 mm wide, oblong, acute, with margin membranous, glabrous, 0.2–0.3 mm wide, and central part fleshy, densely hairy, 1.4–1.6 mm wide, acuminate, forming a triangular tip, 0.6–0.8 mm long, almost reaching the upper margin. Calyx 3.8–4.6 mm long, exserted 1.5–2 mm from the inner bract, tube hairy, with ribs densely hairy, reaching the basal part of the lobes; calyx lobes, ovate-triangular, glabrous, 0.6–0.7 × 0.8–0.9 mm, acuminate.
