Plants perennial; rhizomatous, sometimes subcespitose, rhizomes scaly, sparingly branched. Culms 30-120 cm, erect, stiff, usually unbranched, with 2-3 nodes, not narrowed below the racemes, internodes smooth, usually glabrous; nodes pubescent, often scabrous. Sheaths rounded, smooth, glabrous or hairy, bases sometimes shortly pubescent; ligules 0.8-2.5 mm, truncate; blades 6-45 cm long, 2-7(10) mm wide, flat, lax, dark green, abaxial surfaces scabrous, not shiny, adaxial surfaces sparsely hairy, primary veins conspicuous, separated by finer secondary veins. Racemes 4-25 cm, erect, sometimes nodding, with (3)6-15 spikelets; pedicels 1-2 mm. Spikelets 15-50 mm, terete, with (3)7-24 florets. Glumes lanceolate to narrowly ovate, acute, firm, glabrous; lower glumes 3-6 mm, 3-6-veined; upper glumes 3-8 mm, 5-9-veined; lemmas 6-11 mm, Plants perennial; rhizomatous, sometimes subcespitose, rhizomes scaly, sparingly branched.
