Panicles 10-20 cm, flabellate, golden brown, with more than 15 branches; rachises about 1/2 as long as the panicles; branches 3.5-10.5 cm, ascending. Shorter pedicels 1.5-2 mm; longer pedicels 2.5-3.5 mm. Spikelets 2-2.8 mm; callus hairs 3-4 times longer than the spikelets, golden brown.

Discussion
Miscanthus nepalensis is native from Pakistan through the Himalayas to Myanmar. It is cultivated occasionally in the Flora region. Edgar and Conner (2000) report that, in New Zealand, M. nepalensis has escaped cultivation and is spreading.
