the variation limits are narrow. The loosely caespitose growth with oblique/ascending
branched rhizome is an important diagnostic character.

Inflorescence usually a congested compact, ovoid to ±pyramidal head, of 4–8 clusters;
clusters usually 7–10-flowered, sometimes some clusters pedunculate; peduncles straight, up
to 0.9–3.0 cm long, ±smooth. Bracteoles 2.5–2.8 mm long, fimbriate-ciliate. Tepals ±equal,
glabrous, ±lanceolate, acuminate, pale straw-brown or brown; margins paler to membranous
above, usually 2.9–3.5 mm long. Stamens 6; anthers (0.6–) 0.7–0.9 mm long; filaments
0.6–0.8 mm long; ovary 1.0–1.2 mm long; style 0.5–0.8 mm long; stigmas 2.0–2.4 mm long.
Capsules obovoid to subglobular, pale brown, ±obtuse, equalling or shorter than perianth;
capsule segments 2.3–3.0 × 1.5–1.8 mm. Seeds ovoid or oblong-ovoid, 1.2–1.5 mm long,
(0.8–) 0.9–1.0 mm wide; appendage 0.4–0.6 mm long, usually fibrillate. 2n=48 [48AL], fide
