Panicles 10-20 cm, open; branches ascending and spreading or declining and drooping. Spikelets 15-30 mm, elliptic to lanceolate, terete to moderately laterally compressed, with (4)5-10 florets. Glumes usually glabrous, rarely slightly pubescent, 3-veined; lower glumes 5.5-8 mm; upper glumes 6.5-9 mm, often mucronate; lemmas 8-12 mm, elliptic to lanceolate, rounded over the midvein, backs pubescent or glabrous, margins usually with longer hairs, apices subulate to obtuse, entire; awns 1.5-4 mm, straight, arising less than 1.5 mm below the lemma apices; anthers 1.5-3.5 mm. 2n = 14.
