Information
Clusters of spikelets 10–14 on a rhachis 4–8 in. long. Spikelets numerous, often 10–12 in the clusters which are denser, less sub-erect; otherwise as S. dregeana.
Distribution

This must be very close to S. dregeana, Kunth, the nut being identical. The rhizome has not been seen. In S. dregeana the spikelets are more loosely aggregated and point upwards, giving the inflorescence a different aspect.
