Stems sparingly branched distally, to 35 cm × 0.2–0.5 mm; internodes 0.4–1.9 cm, without prickles. Leaves spreading to ascending with age, 0.8–2 cm, lax in age; sheath 1–1.5 mm wide, apex deeply auriculate; blade 0.5–1 mm wide, margins minutely serrulate, teeth 40 per side, apex acute with 2–3 teeth, teeth unicellular; midvein without prickles abaxially.
