Compactly tufted perennial; culms 30–120 cm. high; basal leaf-sheaths ± silky pubescent to fulvously tomentose.. Leaf-blades flat, 5–40 cm. long, 2–9 mm. wide, usually stiffly pubescent.. Panicle nodding, 7–20 mm. long, comprising 1–7 triads, each borne at the end of a slender flexuous branch; pedicels connate.. Spikelets narrowly lanceolate, 24–45 mm. long, pale yellow or yellowish brown, villous from rows of black tubercles; lower glume narrowly lanceolate, 3/4 as long as the spikelet; upper glume very narrowly lanceolate, almost as long as the spikelet, the lower lemma a little longer; upper lemma 9–14 mm. long, glabrous, acutely bilobed; awn 6–10 cm. long; callus 3 mm. long, pubescent.. Caryopsis hairy on top.
Tufted perennial 150-900 mm high; basal leaf sheaths silky pubescent to fulvously tomentose or covered with dense brown hairs; culm slender, 1 rarely 2-noded. Leaf blade 50-400 x 2-6 mm. Inflorescence of 1-7 triads, nodding; pedicels connate. Spikelet 24-45 mm long (excluding awn), narrowly lanceolate; glumes with many tubercle-based hairs, rarely hairs absent; lower glume 3/4 as long as spikelet, narrowly lanceolate, acuminate; upper glume almost as long as spikelet, very narrowly lanceolate; lower lemma with many tubercle-based hairs, rarely hairs absent; upper lemma glabrous or rarely obscurely hairy near apex, lobes awnless, acuminate to 3-5 mm long, central awn 50-100 mm long; anther 5-6 mm long.
