Tufted perennial. Leaves radical, narrowly lanceolate-spathulate, obtuse, tapering to the stem-clasping base, glabrous. Scapes decumbent or prostrate, slender, long, simple or sparingly branched, furnished with fascicles or tufts of short hairs and sometimes with fascicles of small spathulate to obovate leaves from the axils; panicles erect from near the ends of the scapes, terminating in short spikes of 2-6 spikelets; bracts short acute not scarious on margin. Spikelets 2-3-flowered; bracts enclosing base of young flowers, ovate-rotundate, acute, with membranous margin at apex. Calyx glabrous, tube longer than the bracts; limb expanded, shortly lobed.
