Description
|
Spikelets several-flowered, the rachilla disarticulating near the base of each seg- ment forming a stipe to the floret, the lower part of the stipe glabrous, the upper part covered with long silky hairs; glumes narrow, long-acuminate, 1-nerved, longer than the first floret, sometimes longer than all the florets (in our species); lemmas 3-nerved, villous with long silky hairs, long-acuminate, tapering to a thin fine point, or awned from between the thin slender teeth of a bifid apex; palea about as long as the lemma.

Note
|
Low or usually tall coarse tussock grasses, the leaves mostly crowded toward the base of the plant, with firm, elongate blades tapering to a slender point, very scabrous on the margins, and rather small to large, dense, silky, plume-like panicles.
