Plants annual; cespitose, with¬out innovations, without glands. Culms 10-40(50) cm, erect to prostrate, sometimes geniculate, branching profusely from near the base, glabrous below the nodes. Sheaths sparsely hairy at the apices, hairs to 2.5 mm; ligules 0.1-0.2 mm; blades 3-10(12) cm long, 1-3 mm wide, flat to involute, sparsely pilose on the basal 1/2, scabridulous distally. Panicles 5-20 cm long, 2-8 cm wide, narrowly ovate, open, with 6-10 primary branches; primary branches 1-6 cm, widely spaced, axes trigonous, diverging to 90° from the rachises, densely spikelet-bearing to the base; pulvini sparsely pilose; pedicels 0.4-1(2) mm, stout, straight, flattened. Spikelets 5-12(18) mm long, 1.4-2.4 mm wide, linear-lanceolate, chartaceous, stramineous to greenish with reddish-purple tinges, with 12-42 florets; disarticulation acropetal. Glumes subequal in length, 1.2-1.9 mm, narrowly lanceolate to lanceolate, membranous; lower glumes narrower than the upper glumes; lemmas 1.3-2 mm, lanceolate to ovate, chartaceous, lateral veins conspicuous, greenish, apices acute; paleas 1-1.6 mm, hyaline, keels ciliate, cilia 0.1-0.2 mm, apices obtuse to acute; anthers 3, 0.1-0.2 mm, purplish.
