Staminate glumes broadly ovate, pale yellow-brown, ca. 1.5 mm long, apex obtuse, with 3-veined yellow costa. Pistillate glumes ovate, pale yellow, 1-1.2 mm long, apex acuminate, with 3-veined yellow costa. Utricles yellow-green, narrowly fusiform, obtusely trigonous, 2.5-3 mm long, longer than pistillate glumes, membranous, obliquely patent, distinctly thinly veined, sparsely pubescent, base gradually cuneate, short-stipitate, apex gradually contracted into a ca. 0.5 mm long beak, orifice 2-lobed with minute teeth.
