Densely tufted, dwarf perennial, 25-100(-170) mm high. Leaf blade 10-40 x 1.2 mm; ligule a fringed membrane. Inflorescence a solitary, slender, straight or gradually curved, terminal spike-like raceme; spikelets alternate on and sunk in rachis. Spikelet 2.5-4.0 mm long; laterally compressed; glumes of terminal spikelet equal and similar; glumes of lateral spikelets unequal, dissimilar, awnless; lower glume suppressed or reduced; upper glume of lateral spikelet 2-3 mm long. Floret 1; lemma finely 1-3-nerved, hairy along nerves, mucronate; anther 0.5 mm long. Flowering time Dec.-May.
Spikelets 2–3 mm long, borne in opposite, subopposite or occasionally adjacent ranks, deeply to superficially embedded; inferior glume 0.1–0.4 mm long, truncate; superior glume as long as the spikelet, acute; lemma 1.5–2(2.5) mm long, elliptic-oblong, 3-nerved, the apical mucro up to 0.2 mm long.
