Each stem is topped by a dense cluster of thin, bright green, thread-like stems around 10 to 30 cm (4 to 10 in) in length, resembling a feather duster when the plant is young. Greenish-brown flower clusters eventually appear at the ends of the rays, giving way to brown, nut-like fruits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe younger parts of the rhizome are covered by red-brown, papery, triangular scales, which also cover the base of the culms.
