Sheaths smooth, glabrous; ligules 0.5-1 mm; blades 6-40 cm long, 3-8 mm wide, linear, flat to involute, glabrous adaxially.

Spikelets 2.7-3.6 mm long, 0.8-1.5 mm wide, lanceolate. Upper glumes 1.1-1.3 times longer than the lower lemmas, hairy, 5-veined, apices acuminate and acute to awned, awns 0.3-1.5 mm; lower lemmas 2.5-3.3 mm long, 0.8-1 mm wide, setose, apices acuminate and mucronate; lower paleas absent; anthers absent; upper lemmas 1.7-2.2 mm, elliptic, acute to rounded, awned, awns 0.2-0.5 mm. 2n = unknown.
