Plants loosely cespitose, shortly rhizomatous. Culms about 60 cm, glabrous. Auricles often present; ligules 0.3-1.2 mm, truncate; blades 2-4 mm wide, scabrous on the adaxial surfaces. Inflorescences spikes, 6.5-12 cm, somewhat lax, with 1(2) sessile or subsessile spikelets per node; internodes 4-9 mm, angles pilose or hispid, convex surfaces sparsely villous distally. Spikelets 10-15 mm, with 3-5 florets; disarticulation above the glumes, beneath the florets. Glumes 6.5-11.5 mm long, 1.1-1.5 mm wide, narrowly lanceolate to subulate, 1-3(4)-veined, margins narrow, scarious; lemmas 8-11 mm, villous, slightly to strongly keeled, awned, awns 2-10 mm; paleas glabrous or puberulent between the veins, apices slightly dentate or retuse; anthers 1.7-2.2 mm.
