Loosely tufted annual; culms 10–70 cm. high.. Leaf-blades broadly linear, 2–25 cm. long, 4–14 mm. wide.. Inflorescence of 3–15 racemes borne on an axis 3–10 cm. long; racemes 1–8 cm. long, simple or the longest with branchlets at the base, bearing mostly paired loosely contiguous spikelets appressed to the triquetrous rhachis; pedicels shorter than the spikelets, 1–2 mm. long.. Spikelets elliptic to broadly elliptic, 2.5–3.5 mm. long, glabrous or pubescent, acute to cuspidate, with or without a stipe up to 0.5 mm. long; lower glume 1/3–1/2 the length of the spikelet; upper glume and lower lemma membranous, or rarely the latter coricaceous; upper lemma rugose, subacute to acute.
A millet grass. It is an annual grass. It grows 60 cm high. It forms loos tufts. The culms root from the lower nodes. The leaves are 5-12.5 cm long by 0.6-1.5 cm wide. The leaves are soft and limp. The edge is sharp. Leaves have a somewhat rough texture. They can be finely hairy. The flowers are green and in long undivided flower arrangement.
Inflorescence of 3–15 racemes, these 1–3 cm. long, simple or the longest with branchlets at the base, bearing mostly paired loosely contiguous spikelets appressed to a triquetrous rhachis; pedicels shorter than spikelets, 1–2 mm. long.
Spikelets 2.5–3.5 mm. long, glabrous to pubescent, acute, with or without a short stipe up to 0.5 mm. long.
Inferior glume 1/3–1/3 length of spikelet.
Superior lemma rugose, subacute to acute.
Annual 30–60 cm. high.
