Inflorescences terminal and axillary, sparsely paniculate, contracted, cylindrical, 15–50 mm long. Spikelets 5–6.5 mm long, with 5–9 florets. Glumes shorter than spikelet, acute; lower glume 3–4 mm long, glabrous. Lemma 3–3.5 mm long, acuminate, shortly awned or mucronate, villous; hairs clavate, distributed along keel and margins.
