Plants perennial; robust, aquatic or semi-aquatic, forming extensive colonies through spreading rhizomes. Culms 50-200 cm, mostly erect and sterile, glabrous, often rooting from the lower nodes if submerged. Sheaths usually glabrous, or pilose or hirsute at the lowermost sheath, especially distally; ligules shorter than 1 mm; blades 8-35 cm long, 5-15 mm wide, ascending or spreading, abaxial surfaces glabrous, adaxial surfaces usually scabridulous or pubescent, bases slightly narrowed, margins scabrous, apices long-tapering. Panicles 10-30 cm long, less than 1 cm wide; branches mostly short, appressed-ascending, with fascicles of congested spikelets; ultimate branchlets 1-sided; pedicels 0.2-1.8 mm. Spikelets 2-2.8 mm, subsessile, lanceoloid, slightly laterally compressed, glabrous, acute. Lower glumes about 1/2 as long as the spikelets, slightly keeled along the midveins, 3-veined, acute; upper glumes and lower lemmas similar, glumes slightly shorter than the lemmas, faintly keeled on the back, acute; lower florets staminate; lower paleas subequal to the lower lemmas; upper florets 2-2.5 mm, 2/5 to almost as long as the spikelets, narrowly ellipsoid; upper lemmas relatively thin, flexible, pale, acuminate, clasping the paleas only at the base. 2n = 36, 40.
