Plants cespitose, rhizomatous. Culms 80-150 cm tall, 2-3 mm thick below, few together or solitary; nodes finely pubescent. Sheaths mostly glabrous, pilose near the summits; ligules 2-3 mm, rounded; blades well-developed only on the cauline sheaths, 8-35 cm long, 6-25 mm wide, adaxial surfaces densely pilose basally. Panicles long-exserted, loose, with 2-5 erect to suberect branches; branches 7-15 cm, densely pilose, with white or purplish-white hairs. Shorter pedicels 1.5-2 mm; longer pedicels 5-6 mm, sulcate on 1 side. Spikelets 6-8 mm; callus hairs from 1/2 as long as to equaling the spikelets, silky, white. Lower glumes 6-8 mm, sparsely pilose, 2-keeled above, 2-toothed, teeth densely white-ciliate; upper glumes equaling the lower glumes, 3-5-veined; awns of upper lemmas (4)8-15 mm, twisted at the bases; anthers 2.5-3 mm. 2n = 38.
