A very striking species characterized by the reduction of the 
raceme to one pair of spikelets, and the petiolate sagittate 
leaves. In the reduction of the spikelets it resembles the 
Japanese S. depauperatus, Hack. (in Bull. Herb. Boiss. vii. 
p. 641), while in S. albidus the lamina has a well-marked petiole, 
and shows a tendency to become petiolate in S. cotulifer.
