The leaf-blades are 3–8 millimetres (0.12–0.31 in) wide with the bottom being scabrous and pilose. The panicle is open, inflorescenced, and linear. It is also 8–20 centimetres (3.1–7.9 in) long and 3–6 centimetres (1.2–2.4 in) wide with the branches being scaberulous. Spikelets are cuneate and are 4–6 millimetres (0.16–0.24 in). They carry one fertile floret which have a bearded floret callus.^[1]
