Perennial; culms 8–50 cm. long, slender, wiry, ascending, often rooting at the lower nodes.. Leaf-blades lanceolate to narrowly-ovate, 1.5–3 cm. long, 2–7 mm. wide, cordate, cross-veins present, glabrous or pilose, usually glaucous, acute, ascending, becoming reflexed at maturity.. Panicle ovate, 1–3 cm. long, rarely more, often barely exserted from the uppermost leaf-sheath, moderately branched, the branches spreading to reflexed.. Spikelets ovate-oblong, 1–2 mm. long, glabrous; lower glume 1/2–2/3 the length of the spikelet, 3-nerved; upper glume 5-nerved, acute; lower lemma 5-nerved, sterile, its palea well-developed; upper lemma pale, shining.
Wiry perennial, culms 80-500 mm long; scrambler; rooting at lower nodes; hygro-and hydrophyte. Leaf blade (13-)15-30 x 2-7 mm, lanceolate to narrowly ovate, acute, base cordate, cross-veins present, often reflexed at maturity. Inflorescence small, open, 10-50 mm long, ovate; branches spreading to reflexed; often barely exserted from uppermost leaf sheath. Spikelet 1-2 mm long; glume apices not recurved; lower glume 1/2-2/3 the spikelet length, 3-5-nerved, acuminate, clasping or non-clasping; upper glume 5-nerved; lower floret usually male or sterile, lemma 5-nerved, palea well developed, absent or reduced in width; upper lemma pale, smooth, shiny.
Spikelets 1–2 mm. long, ovate-oblong, glabrous; inferior glume 1/2–2/3 the length of the spikelets, 3-nerved; superior glume 5-nerved; inferior lemma 5-nerved, sterile; superior lemma and palea pallid, glossy.

Panicle 1–3 cm. long, ovate, moderately branched, the branches spreading or reflexed at maturity.
