Leaves very fine, channelled, folded, inrolled or rarely flat, usually flexible, 6–25(–41)cm long, 0.5–1.5 mm wide, green or glaucous; margins usually scaberulous; apex with 1–3 minute points. Male inflorescence 3–9(–19) cm long, usually one-half as long as to equalling the leaves; axes usually smooth, or slightly papillose distally or occasionally scabrid; non-flowering axis exposed for 0.5–4.5(–9.5) cm; flower-bearing axis 2–6.5(–9) cm long. Female inflorescence 3–7 cm long, axes smooth. Flowers Oct.–Nov.
