Plants cespitose, not or shortly rhizomatous. Culms 1-2.5 m; nodes with 1-3 mm hairs. Sheaths glabrous; auricles 0.3-3 mm; ligules 1-2 mm; blades 15-40 cm long, 7-12 mm wide. Peduncles 35-45 cm, glabrous; panicles 3-7 cm wide, linear to oblong; rachises 13-35 cm, glabrous or sparsely pilose; primary branches 5-12 cm, appressed; rame internodes 3-6 mm, with hairs. Sessile spikelets 6-8 mm long, 0.9-1.2 mm wide, brown. Callus hairs 3-5 mm, from shorter than to equaling the spikelets, white or straw-colored; lower glumes smooth or scabrous, 5-veined; lower lemmas 5.8-7.5 mm, usually 3-veined; upper lemmas 4-5.5 mm, 0.7-0.8 times as long as the lower lemmas, 3-veined, entire; awns 16-26 mm, terete and straight to curving basally; lodicule veins extending into hairlike projections to 0.6 mm long; anthers 2. Pedicels 3-5 mm, sparsely and shortly pilose. Pedicellate spikelets similar to the sessile spikelets. 2n = 60.
