Plants rhizomatous. Culms 1-2 m tall, 2-4 mm thick. Lower sheaths hispid; upper sheaths essentially glabrous; ligules erose, not ciliate; blades to 100 cm long, 8-30 mm wide, glabrous or slightly pubescent. Terminal inflorescences with 4-7(10) rames. Pistillate spikelets 2-3 mm wide, beadlike in appearance. Staminate spikelets in sessile-pedicellate pairs; glumes 5-10 mm long, 1.5-2 mm wide, usually membranous, acute; pedicels 2-5 mm long, less than 0.3 mm wide, almost flat to plano-convex in cross section, flexible. 2n = 72.
Discussion
