Information
Glabrous. Stolons very slender, with yellow or brownish scales, disappearing as soon as the bulbs are completely formed; bulbs formed close to the end of the stolon, when ripe ovoid, 2/5 by 1/5 in., enclosed in a hard black striate coat which splits irregularly into lanceolate valves. Stems annual, arising from a bulb, 4–12 in. long, very slender. Leaves numerous, longer than the stem, at the base 1/6 in. broad, but the upper half very narrow and whip-like. Umbel contracted (rays usually not exceeding 1/4– 1/2 in. long), irregular subcorymbose (i.e. the lowest ray often 1/8– 3/8 in. below the others); bracts 3–6, lower much exceeding the umbel, with whip-like ends as the leaves. Spikelets 4–12 in a spike, rather loosely spicate, 1/2 by 1/12– 1/10 in., compressed, red, 8–26-flowered; rhachilla winged; glumes boat-shaped, obtuse, 11-striate, reddish. Nut 1/2 the length of the glume, persistent, obovoid, black; style short; branches 3, long, exserted.
