Annuals; clum glabrous, geniculate, 40-80 cm tall. Blade broadly linear, 5-20 cm long, 2-18 mm
wide; sheath ciliate on margins; ligule a ring of hairs, ca. 1.5 mm long. Panicle contracted, spike-like,
cylindrical, 3-6 cm long; axils pubescent; sterile branches forming bristles subtending spikelet. Spikelets
2-2.5 mm long, 0.8-1 mm wide; elliptic, usually obtuse; lower glume 3-veined, ovate, ca. 1/3 as
long as spikelet; upper glume 5-veined, equaling spikelet or shorter; lower lemma 5-veined, enclosing a
small, narrow, lower palea; upper lemma oblong, obtuse, obscurely rugose, finely punctate. Anthers
ca.0.7 mm long.
