Trailing annual, ± 600 mm high, forming a tangled mat. Leaf blade up to 80 mm long; ligule an unfringed membrane. Inflorescence solitary or digitate to subdigitate, of 3 or 4 slender racemes, or a number of racemes up central axis; internodes linear; spikelets in pairs, similar: one sessile, the other pedicelled; pedicels free. Sessile spikelet 3.5-4.5 mm long, dorsiventrally compressed, bearded at base with a ring of white hairs; glumes ± equal, dissimilar; lower glume concave on back with median groove. Florets 2; lower floret male or sterile, upper floret bisexual, lemma central awn 6-20 mm long, hairlike, glabrous; anther 0.8-1.0 mm long. Pedicelled spikelet similar to sessile spikelet; awned. Flowering time Jan.-May.
