Plants perennial, with both fertile and sterile shoots; cespitose. Culms (20)40-80(100) cm, erect, smooth or scabridulous. Leaves concentrated below midlength on the culms; sheaths glabrous or pilose; ligules 1.5-3.5 mm, rounded or truncate; blades 10-20+ cm long, 2-9 mm wide, flat, lax. Panicles 8-20 cm long, usually 2-4 cm wide, lax, nodding, silvery-green or tan; lower branches to 5 cm, ascending, naked below, the spikelets imbricate distally. Spikelets 5-7(9) mm, pedicellate, lance-ovate, with 2(4) florets; rachilla internodes and hairs 1.3-2 mm. Glumes unequal, widest at or below the middle; lower glumes 4-5.5 mm; upper glumes 5-7 mm long, nearly as long as the florets, wider than the lower glumes; callus hairs 1.5-2 mm; lemmas 5-6 mm, smooth or scabridulous, apices usually minutely bifid, sometimes entire, unawned or awned. awns to 2 mm, arising just below and rarely exceeding the apices; paleas shorter than the lemmas; anthers 0.6-0.8 mm. Caryopses about 3 mm, sparsely pubescent distally. 2n = 14.
