Plants annual; tufted or with solitary culms. Culms 3-60 cm, erect. Leaves mostly cauline; sheaths open, glabrous, pubescent, or pilose; auricles absent; ligules membranous; blades flat or involute, stiff. Inflorescences spikelike panicles, dense; branches scabrous to pubescent. Spikelets laterally compressed, with 2-7 florets; rachillas sparsely to moderately pubescent, prolonged or not beyond the base of the distal florets; disarticulation above the glumes, beneath the florets. Glumes unequal, membranous, glabrous or hirsute, keels ciliate, apices unawned; lower glumes shorter and narrower than the upper glumes, 1-veined; upper glumes subequal to the lowest lemmas, 3-veined; calluses usually glabrous, occasionally sparsely hairy; lemmas thin, membranous, 5-veined, glabrous or hirsute, margins shiny, scarious, apices acute, bifid, subterminally awned or unawned; paleas subequal to the lemmas, hyaline, veins sometimes extended into awnlike apices; anthers 3; ovaries glabrous. Caryopses glabrous, x = 7.
