Densely tufted perennial, 150-800 mm high. Leaf blade 40-200 x 1-4 mm; ligule an unfringed membrane. Inflorescence a spike-like, sometimes interrupted panicle. Spikelets 3.5-4.0 mm long, laterally compressed; glumes ± equal to longer than spikelet, lower sometimes shorter than spikelet, 1-3-nerved, keeled. Florets 2-4; lemma similar in texture to glumes, 3-nerved, keeled, acute to acuminate, entire, a minute mucro or straight awn present or absent; palea thinner in texture than lemma, hyaline, projecting out of florets and conspicuous in mature spikelet; anther 1.5-3.0 mm long. Flowering time Oct.-Jan.
Variable perennial, up to 0.7 m tall. Leaves linear; ligule an unfringed membrane, very fimbriate and appearing fringed, or occasionally ciliolate. Inflorescence a dense cylindrical, spike-like, often silvery panicle, sometimes interrupted at base. Spikelets 3.5-4 x 1-2.5 mm, 2-many-flowered, glumes ± equal to longer than spikelet, margins hyaline, sometimes mucronate, 1-3-nerved; lemma apex entire, keeled, acute, not lobed, glabrous or hairy, hairs up to 1.5 mm long, awnless, mucronate or minutely awned.
Densely tufted perennial 150-800 mm high; culms terete, wiry. Leaf blade 40-200 x 1-4 mm. Inflorescence spike-like, sometimes interrupted. Spikelet 3.5-4.0(7.0) mm long, 2-4-flowered; glume margins hyaline; lemma apex acuminate; palea conspicuous in mature spikelet as projects out of florets; anthers 1.5-3.0 mm long.
Perennial, tufted (to densely so), up to 0.8 m high. Leaf blades 40-200 mm long, 1-4 mm wide. Spikelets 3.5-4.0 mm long. Inflorescence spiciform, sometimes interrupted; spikelets 2-4-flowered, paleas projecting out of florets and thus conspicuous in mature spikelets.
