Culms 35-40(90) cm, 0.8-1 mm thick at the nodes, rarely branched, leafy for 80% of their height. Sheaths glabrous; collars pilose; ligules 0.2-0.3 mm, irregularly laciniate; blades 7-9(15) cm long, 3.5-6 mm wide, lanceolate-fusiform, glabrous adaxially. Panicles (2.5)5-10.5(12) cm, open, erect; branches divergent, sometimes strongly so; axils of panicle branches pilose; pedicels 0.5-1 mm. Spikelets 9.5-12 mm long, 11-17(18) mm wide, with (4)5-10 florets, lower 2-4 florets sterile, fertile florets divergent to 85°. Lower glumes 2.5-2.9 mm, 2-3-veined; upper glumes 2.6-3.6 mm, 3-5-veined; calluses glabrous; fertile lemmas 5.8-9.3 mm, straight, (9)11-13-veined, keels not winged, scabrous to scabridulous distally; paleas 7.2-9 mm; anthers 1.1-1.9 mm, the length invariant within a spikelet.
