Narrow, grass-like, two-ranked leaves arising from a basal tuft in wet, marshy ground; small, three-petalled yellow flowers open one at a time from a tight, cone-like cluster of overlapping brown bracts at the stalk tip.
Each flower head opens only one or two blooms at a time from the tightly packed bract cluster, so a single stalk can keep flowering in sequence over many weeks.
