Glabrous. Stolons slender. Stems approximate 8-16 in., slender. Leaves 
scarcely 3 in. broad, 1 or 2 cauline often present. Infi. 4 by 1 in.; spikes mostly 
fem. with a few males at top, terminal sometimes wholly male ; peduncles often 6 or 
more clustered, not rarely divided. Spikes 1 by jede in., much slenderer than in 
C. inequalis or Daltoni. Fem. glumes se in., about as long as utricle- This 
Species differs from all (except C. munda, Boott) by the very small glumes an 
utricles, and very slender spikes.
