Description
Remote sedge forms grass-like clumps up to 75 cm tall by 30 cm in diameter. The stems are green, trigonous (i.e. triangular in section) and faintly serrated above the top leaf (which is, technically, the peduncle). The leaves are 30–60 cm long, v-shaped and upright, turning flat and drooping towards the tips, bright green and finely serrated. The inflorescence consists of 4–10 sessile spikes which corkscrew up the stem, typically about 5 mm long and very pale green.[6]
