Plants perennial; densely cespitose, without rhizomes. Culms 1-1.5 m, erect. Sheaths persistent, smooth to scabridu-lous, becoming fibrous at the base at maturity; ligules 0.8-2.9 mm; blades to 46 cm long, 5.1 mm wide, glabrous abaxially, scabrous adaxially, sometimes also pilose just above the ligules. Panicles with 1 branch; branches 5-15 cm, curved, axes extending slightly beyond the spikelets, distal spikelets reduced. Spikelets 8.5-11 mm. Lower glumes 1-2.1 mm; upper glumes 4.8-6.1 mm, bidentate, with a row of conspicuous glands on either side of the midveins, awns 3.5-4 mm, strongly divergent, often almost perpendicular to it at maturity; lemmas of bisexual florets 4-5 mm, pilose on the lateral veins, awned subapically, awns 3-4 mm, straight or divergent; distal lemmas sterile, unawned. 2n = unknown.
