Loosely tufted annual, 200-600 mm high. Leaf blade 20-200 x 1-7 mm; ligule an unfringed membrane. Inflorescence in pairs or subdigitate on a short central axis, of 2-6 racemes; rachis triquetrous, broadly winged, glabrous, margins glabrous or scaberulous; pedicels with a corona of short hairs at apex; spikelets abaxial, in clusters of 2 or 3. Spikelets 2.5-2.7 mm long, oblong, dorsiventrally compressed; lower glume reduced to small cuff, obscure; upper glume 3/4 as long as spikelet, 3-nerved, clavate hairs between nerves; internode absent. Florets 2; lower floret sterile, lemma lanceolate, as long as spikelet, not deeply grooved, 5-nerved, covered with white clavate hairs; upper floret bisexual, lemma ± as long as spikelet, light to dark brown or purplish black margins flat and covering most of palea. Flowering time Nov.-May.
