Densely tufted perennial 100-430 mm high, growing in compact mats; basal leaf sheaths splitting into fibres; leaves mostly crowded at the base; culm 1-4-noded. Leaf blade 10-80 mm long, tapering to a fine point; ligule a fringe of hairs to a fringed membrane. Inflorescence raceme 20-150(-250) x 1 mm (rarely more). Spikelet 2.0-3.2 mm long, awnless; lemma 1.9-2.8 mm long; anther 0.4-0.9(1.0) mm long; caryopsis 1.5 mm long.
Densely caespitose perennial growing in compact mats; culms 10–60 cm. high, 1–4-noded, the leaves mostly crowded at the base.. Leaf-blades filiform, 1–8(–13) cm. long, tapering to a fine point; sheaths eventually splitting into a dense tuft of brown fibres.. Spikes 2–25 cm. long, the rhachis 0.8–1.2 mm. wide.. Spikelets 2.5–4(–4.5) mm. long; anthers 0.5–1.2 mm. long.. Caryopsis 1.5 mm. long.. Fig. 88/1–10, p. 315.
