Spikelets 8-30 mm, including the awns. Lower glumes 3-3.5 mm long, 0.7-0.8 mm wide, 5-veined; upper glumes 4-4.5 mm long, to 3/4 the length of the spikelets, 1-1.5 mm wide, 7-veined; sterile lemmas 6-13 mm, indurate, glabrous or sparsely hispidulous, sometimes faintly transversely rugose, scabrous distally, lower sterile lemmas 3-7-veined, awned, awns 2-20 mm, upper sterile lemmas with a short stalklike base and 2 inconspicuously bearded ridges, awned or unawned; bisexual lemmas 4-7 mm, 7-veined, unawned; anthers 3, about 1.2 mm.
