Plants perennial; cespitose, not mat-forming. Culms 15-40 cm, erect. Ligules 1.5-3 mm, acute to obtuse, entire; blades 2-8 mm wide, flat or folded. Panicles 5-8 cm, open and diffuse at maturity, lowest node usually with long branches, lower branches ascending, horizontal, or descending, spikelets usually confined to the distal 73; pedicels glabrous and smooth, lacking tumid epidermal cells. Spikelets 4-7 mm, with 4-5 florets. Glumes narrow, not enfolding the base of the lower lemmas, rounded over the back, veins obscure or distinct, apices acute to obtuse; lower glumes 1.7-3 mm, usually less than 2/3 as long as the adjacent lemmas; upper glumes 2.5-4 mm; rachilla internodes abruptly or gradually broadened to the point of attachment with the lemmas, at least the lowest internode usually more than 0.09 mm thick; calluses with a few hairs; lemmas 4-5 mm, mostly herbaceous, hairy along and between the veins on the proximal 1/2, backs rounded, 5-veined, veins obscure or distinct, not extending to the margins, apical margins hyaline, smooth, apices acute, entire, becoming erose with age; palea veins with curly, intertwined hairs proximally, these hairs rarely lacking, scabrous distally; anthers 1.5-2.5 mm. 2n = 14.
