Annual; culms 15–100 cm. long, rambing, often rooting from the lower nodes.. Leaf-sheaths ciliately fringed; blades narrowly ovate to ovate, 5–10 cm. long, 10–25(–38) mm. wide, amplexicaul, thin, cross-veins present, glabrous or pilose, finely acute.. Panicle ovate, 5–15 cm. long, rarely more, delicately branched, the branches spreading and often appearing somewhat tangled.. Spikelets ovate, 1.5(–1.8) mm. long, asymmetrical, usually sparsely puberulous to pilose, slightly apiculate; lower glume hyaline, oblong, as long as the spikelet, (1–)3-nerved, separated from the rest of the spikelet by a short swollen internode; upper glume ovate, herbaceous, 5-nerved; lower lemma 5-nerved, sterile, its palea well developed; upper lemma pale, shining.
Spikelets 1.5–2 mm. long, ovate or ovate-elliptic, sparsely puberulous to pilose; inferior glume as long as the spikelet, 3-nerved; superior glume 5-nerved; inferior lemma 5-nerved, sterile, its palea present; superior lemma and palea pallid, glossy.
Leaf laminae 5–10 cm. long and 10–25 mm. wide, thin amplexicaul, glabrous or pilose, cross-veins present, finely acute.
Very rarely the outer spikelets of the panicle are long-hairy and apparently surrounded by a delicate halo.
Panicle 5–15 cm. long, ovate, much-branched, the branches delicate and often appearing somewhat tangled.
