Plants annual or perennial; tufted or cespitose. Culms 50-120 cm; nodes densely pilose, hairs about 2 mm. Sheaths with scattered papillose-based hairs; ligules 1-2 mm; blades 5-25 cm long, 2-5 mm wide. Rames 1-7, 3-7 cm, subdigitate, often glaucous and white-villous, spikelet-bearing to the base, basal spikelet pairs consisting only of glumes; internodes pubescent, hairs immediately below the nodes to 1.5 mm. Sessile bisexual spikelets 2.5-4.5 mm long, 1-1.4 mm wide; lower glumes 5-10-veined, with 0.7-1.5 mm hairs on the basal 1/2 and about 3 mm papillose-based hairs on the distal portion of the keels and in a transverse subapical arch; awns 2-3.5 cm, twice-geniculate. Pedicellate spikelets about 3 mm, usually sterile. 2n = 20.

Distribution

Pacific Islands (Hawaii), Fla., Tex., Miss.
